Every five minutes, a transplant candidate dies while waiting for a heart, a liver, or a kidney. Imagine a technology that could provide those life saving organs for a nominal fee.....and imagine what a company would do to monopolize that technology.
On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, P.J. Colding leads a team of scientists who have discovered this holy grail of medicine. By reverse engineering the genomes of thousands of mammals, Colding's team has dialed back the evolutionary clock to re-create their common ancestor. The method? Illegal. The result? A computer engineered living creature --- an animal whose organs can be permanently transplanted into anyone with zero chance of rejection.
There's just one problem: these ancestors turn out not to be the docile herd animals Colding's team envisioned. Instead, Colding's work has given birth to something big, something evil.
......AND IT'S VERY, VERY HUNGRY!

This is the third book I heard from this author and I'm hooked! Yes it is stupid to call a 40 year old woman old! Wth. But even with that and all the commercials, (I have listen to liberbox for over a yr this is only author I've heard with commercials) I loved it. I still will listen to any book he reads with twice that many commercials. The story is just that good. Also with the special privilege of listening to Sigler, adds more awesomeness to it.
LOVED IT!!!

this book is by far my most favorite book by this author. of course pandemic is a close second. I really like the characters and the development of the story. and it had romance 2, always a plus ??:-) I love listening to a Scott Sigler story while I'm at work.

Ancestor: another reason to look forward to my commute. A lot of fun with this story. Loved the irony of how a usually placid herd animal becomes the one herding us. As usual with Sigler, great production, narration, and character voices. As with The Rookie, the epilog seemed unnecessary (and ...
Somewhat annoying but I kept listening.

There is so much about this book I found annoying, but for some reason I listened to the whole thing. The story was intererting but way too slow moving in the first 2/3 of the book. The dialogue seemed forced at times and the swearing artificial. The descriptions of the creatures were somewhat ridiculous. The dramatization was fun at times but so many of the voices were harsh and annoying. Also the intros between chapters annoyed the hell out of me. Overall I found it entertaining and somewhat thought provoking and the ending was pretty good, but about 65% of the dialogue was just annoying and immature.

I'd like to thank Scott for narrating his own work, a truly selfless act of sacrifice. Did you know that every 5 minutes a listener dies waiting for Mr. Sigler to get to the point? Compare this if you dare to "The Things" by Peter Watts, which you can find for free in the Clarkesworld podcast feed.

David Slate's comment about paying (or not paying for works released here) is quite frankly ridiculous. If an author chooses to put their work on a free site that is their choice. It is irrelevant whether the site solicits donations. It cannot then be deemed outside the bounds of criticiscm ...

A good solid science fiction horror story with some great characters. Starts slow but the build up is worth it. Keep in mind the first couple episodes are prequel chapters. I kept expecting more of Paul Fischer but he is not one of the main characters in the book, despite ...

I give this book a 7 out of 10. It was well written and had a good idea for a story line but it was a bit lack luster. I love Scott silver, but I think so far this is just my least favorite. A little to predicable for me. ...
