Fantastic sequel to a fantastic first book. ( )

I liked this sequel to Infection much better than the first book. It omitted the unnecessarily graphic stuff, introduced a quasi-human adversary (in the form of a 7-year old girl), and really the character of Scary Perry Dawsey to help save the planet. Too bad Detroit could not be saved... ( )

Can't wait for the third book Pandemic! ( )

There's often the danger when you have a fantastic grabbing first novel in a trilogy that the follow up sequel will be unable to match the level of the first, or worse, a total let down. I am pleased to say Contagious is every bit as good as Infected, maybe even a little better.

As an immediate sequel to Infected there's not a great deal of character development which takes place as everyone has already been backgrounded in the prior instalment. The main exception to this is Perry Dawsey who continues to fight his self loathing whilst also trying adjust to his new life as the only survivor to the alien contagion and everything that survival involved.

Overall? Really damn good. Wish air mail would hurry up with my copy of the final novel, Pandemic, so I can start on it! ( )

Sehr spannende Fortsetzung, die mich wirklich mitgerissen und gefesselt hat. Der Vorgänger hatte mich nicht ganz so überzeugt. ( )
