“The ancestors are out there…you need to believe me.”

From acclaimed author Scott Sigler-New York Instances bestselling creator of Infected and Contagious-comes an account of genetic experimentation’s worst nightmare come true.

Every five minutes, a transplant candidate dies while looking forward to a heart, a liver organ, a kidney. Envision a technology that could offer those life-saving transplant organs for the nominal charge … and imagine what a organization would do to obtain a monopoly on that technology..LEARNING MUCH MORE approximately Ancestor: A Book

On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, PJ Colding qualified prospects several geneticists who’ve discovered this holy grail of medicine. By reverse-engineering the genomes of a large number of mammals, Colding’s group has dialed back the evolutionary clock to re-create humankind’s common ancestor. The method? Illegal. The result? A computer-engineered living creature, an pet whose organs can be implanted in any person, and with no chance of transplant rejection.

There’s just one problem: these ancestors are not the docile herd animals that Colding’s team envisioned. Instead, Colding’s work offers given birth to something big, something evil.

With these killer creatures for the prowl, Colding and the woman he loves must battle to survive – even as government agents close in to shut the task down, as well as the deep-pocketed company backing this analysis proves to have its own cold-blooded agenda.

As the creators end up being the victim in the best battle for survival, Scott Sigler takes readers on the best thrill-ride-and offers a chilling cautionary account of what can occur when hubris, greed, and madness travel scientific experimentation at night brink of reason.
