Ancestor by Scott Sigler

ancestor.jpgEvery five minutes, a transplant candidate dies while waiting for a heart, a liver, a kidney. Imagine a technology, says New York Times bestselling author Scott Sigler, that could provide those life-saving transplant organs for a nominal fee.

By reverse-engineering the genomes of thousands of mammals, P.J. Colding's team has dialed back the evolutionary clock to re-create humankind's common ancestor. The method? Illegal. The result? A computer-engineered living creature, an animal 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 has given birth to something big, something evil.

The ultimate predator is on the loose ...and it's very, very hungry.

"Fast, furious fun...Michael Crichton has a worthy successor in Scott Sigler."--Simon R. Green
