Scott Sigler: Ancestor

Start: 06/27/2010 2:00 pm

Sigler Scott Sigler, New York Times bestselling author of Infected and Contagious, visits with his new sci-fi thriller, Ancestor, a chilling tale of what can happen when hubris, greed, and madness drive scientific experimentation beyond reason.

Imagine a technology that could provide life-saving transplant organs for a nominal fee. Then imagine what a company would do to get a monopoly on that technology. By reverse-engineering the genomes of thousands of mammals, a team of geneticists has dialed back the evolutionary clock to re-create humankind’s common ancestor. The method? Illegal. The result? A computer-engineered animal whose organs can be implanted in any person, with no chance of transplant rejection. Just one problem: these “ancestors” aren’t the docile herd animals the team envisioned. They’ve created something big, something evil, and something very, very hungry.
