      Hoe bestrijd je de vijand als die binnen in je zit? Als hij je bloedbaan aftapt en je cellen ombouwt, je voedingsstoffen kaapt en je hersens overneemt, als hij je onderbewuste influistert dat je je beste vriend moet omleggen... Een golf van onverklaarbare moorden en zelfmoorden teistert de Verenigde Staten. De geheime dienst luistert alle telefoongesprekken af, op zoek naar combinaties van bepaalde woorden. Agenten zijn stand-by; ze moeten een besmet persoon levend te pakken zien te krijgen. Want eenmaal dood, blijft er niets over dan een stinkende zwarte drab... Perry Dawsey is een jonge man als ieder ander, en ex-sporter die iets te dik is geworden in zijn kantoorbaan, die graag grappen maakt met zijn collega's, graag een biertje drinkt en... die ongemerkt besmet is geraakt. Het begint met iets wat lijkt op uitslag. Dan begint het verschrikkelijk, afschuwelijk, moorddadig te jeuken. Dan gaat het groeien, hard groeien, en komen de stemmen... Innerspace meets Outbreak – dit is bioterror op zijn best, van een verteller die met durf en stijl in de voetsporen treedt van grootmeesters als Stephen King en Michael Crichton. Scott Sigler verdiende zijn sporen als onafhankelijk podcasting-auteur en wist eigenhandig meer dan dertigduizend fans aan zich te binden.
