Product Description
“The ancestors are out there…you have to judge me.”
From acclaimed leader Scott Sigler—New York Times bestselling creator of Infected and Contagious—comes a tale of genetic experimentation’s worst nightmare come right.
Every five minutes, a transplant candidate dies while waiting for a heart, a liver, a kidney. Imagine a equipment that could provide persons life-saving transplant organs for a nominal fee … and imagine what a company would do to get a monopoly on that equipment.
On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, PJ Colding leads a group of geneticists who have learned this holy grail of medicine. By back-engineering the genomes of thousands of mammals, Colding’s team has dialed back the evolutionary clock to re-make 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. As a replacement for, Colding’s work has agreed birth to something huge, something evil.
With these killer creatures on the stalk, Colding and the woman he likes must fight to survive — even as government agents close in to shut the project down, and the deep-pocketed company backing this research proves to have its own cold-blooded agenda.
As the creators become the prey in the essential battle for survival, Scott Sigler takes readers on the essential thrill-ride—and offers a chilling cautionary account of what can take place when hubris, greed, and madness drive scientific experimentation past the brink of reason.

I got about half way through and had to throw this book away. I establish the depiction of women in this novel to be offensive. ALL of the women are cheaters or socially and morally inept. I’m Not sure why it’s necessary to make the women so fundamentally flawed. Also, all the men – at one time or another – referred to women as “bit**.”
The dialog seemed artificial and unrealistic. For example, different characters commonly used the same phrases (“bit**”); and the narration would suddenly shift from cool to frantic.
There sure were a lot of BIG men in this book. Not sure why so many BIG men.
This is one of the worst books I have ever read.
