The Ninja's buddy Scott Sigler has a great new horror/thriller novel called CONTAGIOUS. The book hits stores on December 30, 2008, and Scott is also giving away the entire novel as both a serialized, unabridged podcast and as a serialized PDF. The episodes post every Sunday in both forms, and so far the first two episodes are available at scottsigler.com.
Scott has twelve posters in all, each on a different blog, and each foreshadowing a key plot element. If you get all twelve and put them together in the right pattern, you get a final clue for the book's big finish. For a list of other blogs hosting a poster, go to www.scottsigler.com/posters.
BOOK BLURB:
“Contagious is a hard-science horror novel with popcorn-flick flair. From the book jacket: Across America, a mysterious pathogen transforms ordinary people into raging killers, psychopaths driven by a terrifying, alien agenda. The human race fights back, yet after every battle the disease responds, adapts, using sophisticated strategies and brilliant ruses to fool its pursuers. The only possible explanation: the epidemic is driven not by evolution but by some malevolent intelligence.”
