ANCESTOR is about two deadly killers - one of them is a control-crazed millionaire named Magnus and the other is his lab-manufactured genetic horrors. Magnus was trying to create placid herd animals available to donate organs for humans who need transplants, but a delusional scientist tweaked the DNA and instead made large vicious predators. When Magnus tries to cover-up the project, these beasts get loose. Now everyone on an isolated island is at risk of being hunted down and exterminated eithe...more

I love this book. I cannot stress enough how incredibly plausible this storyline is when you get down to the science of it. Sigler has created a thriller that grips you deep in the primal gut and won't let you go. It's hard to put the book down. The characters are real, either as hateable people you are happy to see die, or likeable people you want to save. There is romance and love without being sappy or corny, and, true to Sigler's MO, there is lots and lots of violence. I seemed to remember M...more

If you like Michael Crichton-sytle thriller with a little bit more of a horror bend, this is great stuff! Apparently this was the first book by Scott Sigler to come out and the initial version won great praise and helped secure him as an author. (Read the details in the back of the book (last page), because you will enjoy a few lines in the middle of the book a whole lot more)

Although this stand alone book has nothing to do with Infected and Contagious, the current published edition has some crossover characters. This is not in any way important to the enjoyment of the book Ancestor itself, but is fun if you've read the other two. I was a bit confused at first by this, because the publishing dates indicate that this book came out *before* Infected and Contagious, but the way it reads, the events in Ancestor occur AFTER the subsequent books. From what I've figured out, I understand that Ancestor was first published as a free podcast/short story...the author developed a following...went on to become famous with Infected and Contagous...and went back and updated/fleshed out Ancestor into a full length book...and in the process appears to have made some subtle connections with his two later books.

At any rate, the book is another rip-roaring work of pure, pulpy-thriller fun! It is not quite as fast paced as Infected/Contagious, but then again those books rip along at a rate that is almost unmatched. So Ancestor is plenty well paced. And it's fun because even though you know the basic outline of what is GOING to happen, the execution is excellent and full of twists and turns that keep you turning the pages. (Think of the movie Aliens - you know it's just a movie with more than one Alien, but the execution made it something special!)

Once again, perhaps the best indication of how much I enjoyed this book is that I learned that the author actually has a 4th work out: Nocturnal. And I'm already 300+ pages into *that* book as I write this. (less)

Possibly the most boring, useless book I have ever read.

This book has been out for quite a while but I have only recently read it and I felt the urge to review it.

I spotted this book while searching for something new to read. It was cheap and had a great premise: "Scientists on an island try to clone an ancient monster so they can use its organs in transplants. Everything goes wrong." Sounds good, right? A simple action horror. Something easy to read. Fun.

no no. Fun is not what this book offers....more

If I could give Ancestor 2.5 stars, I would, but I'm using the options available to me. (I should also provide context, in that I've read three Scott Sigler books in four days, so it's not as if I've been turned off his work due to The Suffering.)

I mean, it's a book I sat down with and finished in one sitting, rather than abandoning because it bored me. On the other hand, it didn't make a huge impression and the ending lacked impact.

In fact, he delays the full reveal until late in the book -- much like the way Ridley Scott delayed showing us what the Alien looked like, teasing us with half-glimpses while ratcheting up the tension by allowing us to be as confused and scared as the characters in the story.

Let me just get that out of the way before the rest of this review gets started. Sigler is a man who has managed to not only get published, but to also get one of his books (Infected) optioned for a movie... all from initially releasing his books in podcast format for free. Ancestor will always hold a soft spot in my heart for being my first exposure to Sigler's work.

Ancestor follows along a group of scientists, soldiers & pilots as they try to achieve an almost impossible task: to re-create the ancestor of all life. Their intentions are noble; to create an infinite amount of donatable organs, but too bad they didn't remember that bad things can come out of good intentions. With the snowstorm of a century approaching their remote lab, they are just now realizing that creating life might have been a mistake- a deadly mistake.

I'd initially reviewed this after listening to the audio version of the book, so I figured that an updated review was in order, just in case my opinion of the book changed over time. No worries- I actually enjoyed it more the second time around than I did the first time.

While this isn't the best Sigler's come out with, it is a prime example of how incredibly readable he can be. There's sci-fi, action, romance... pretty much a little bit of everything to appeal to a wide audience. I enjoyed the science described in the book & I liked that Sigler explained as much of it as possible without going into an info-dump overload.

I won't lie- there are some parts to it that are a little rough. Like I said above, this isn't Sigler's strongest book & some parts of it (such as the character descriptions) were sort of repetitive. The action is a little slow to start off, with the early emphasis being more on the human threat more than the ancestor threat. Keep at it though- when the action starts, it doesn't let up until the end of the book!

The bottom line is that if you want a fun new author to read, Sigler is your man. Not only do you get a fun new read, but you get to support a true industry underdog- not to mention that you get to brag "I heard of him first" when all of your friends discover him. (less)

This time, he throws a little cabin-in-the-woods slasher flick DNA into the mix as well. The short version of the plot, without giving away any more than the cover copy does: after a lab experiment goes awry and a debilitating cross-species virus almost escapes, a US cover military team starts shutting down all private research facilities working on developing a process for easier transplanting of animal organs into humans.
One of the labs they are hunting, led by former team member PJ Colding, drops completely off the radar -- because Colding's team is very close to genetically engineering an animal that would be bred solely for the purposes of harvesting organs: a computer-grown, bovine-gestated animal created from the genetic pattern of what they think is the 'ancestor' to all modern mammals. But something in the coding goes wrong, and the creators become the prey trapped on a bleak snow-covered island.

Sigler doesn't rush the reveal of the Ancestors. The book is as much about the tension among the team creating them as it is about what happens when they come into existence, if not moreso. In fact, he delays the full reveal until late in the book -- much like the way Ridley Scott delayed showing us what the Alien looked like, teasing us with half-glimpses while ratcheting up the tension by allowing us to be as confused and scared as the characters in the story. Of course, once they are revealed, it's a full-speed race to the end of the book. I read the final 140 pages in a mad rush, staying up way past the point I should have been asleep. It's a rare book that can get me to do that these days. Especially since it started out slow with me rolling my eyes a few times.

Sigler also fills the book with characters who are diverse enough to be individuals, and interesting enough to rise above the stock roles you find in such stories. PJ Colding's reasons for essentially going rogue are believable, as are Sara Purinam's reasons for not trusting him. Three characters border on stereotype with not much depth (Magnus, Andy, and Rhumkorff), but they play their parts well regardless. And Sigler even breathes decent life into the requisite cannon-fodder secondary characters.

In addition to the somewhat stereotypical nature of the human bad-guys (as opposed to the predatory Ancestors), the other thing that bothered me was the virtual disappearance of one somewhat-major character, Paul Fischer, at about the book's three-quarter mark. This is either a brilliant strategy on Sigler's part (dropping the Fischer sub-plot enables the author to avoid the "easy resolution" to the situation), or not. My jury is still out on that. We already know there will be a sequel. My hope is that the Fischer storyline will get picked up and dovetail with the story of the human survivors of the book, justifying the time invested in introducing and developing him.
A kick-ass snow-mobile roller-coaster of a ride: it starts out slow and detailed, builds well, pays off at the end, and gives us something to worry about for the future. The science is believable, the military jargon sounds dead-on, and the tension is leavened with doses of black (sometimes very black) humor. Highly recommended.

Ancestor by Scott Sigler, author of Infected and the New York Times best-selling novel Contagious, is a 2010 reimagining of Sigler's wildly successful bestselling 2007 novel of the same name. Ancestor tells the story of Genada, a Canadian biotechnology company on the cutting edge in the field of Xenotransplantation.

Ancestor tells the story of Genada, a Canadian biotechnology company on the cutting edge in the field of Xenotransplantation. Xenotransplantation is the transplantation of living cells, tissues, or organs from one species to another, such as from pigs to humans. A potentially trillion dollar industry, Genada's owners Dante and Magnus Paglione see their project as cornering the market on life itself.

There are however risks: when an accident at one of Genada's competitors releases a potentially devastating cross-species plague which is only barely contained, Genada forces their xenotransplantation project, Project Ancestor, underground to avoid being shut down by the world's governments. Now on the frozen island of Black Manitou in the middle of Lake Superior, Genada scientists have brought back an animal from the past, an Ancestor to all mammals. The hopes of millions requiring organ transplant are realized; years of research are triumphant.

But there is one problem: while they thought they were creating a docile herd creature, a cow with human organs, they got something...else, something evil, something....hungry. And it sure as f*ck ain't no Cow!

Reminiscent of novels like Jurassic Park, Sigler builds the tension of the story to page-turning fear raising heights such that when you're done you'll already be begging for the eventual sequel. The scenes in the novel are so well described you'll feel the chill whether it be from the cold of Black Manitou's raging winter or from the hungry, watchful, gaze of an Ancestor ready to pounce. In fact it is the ancestors themselves, the lab-created beasts of the novel, which will leave you scrambling to turn on the life switch and fear the dark and cold; the ancestor is now the new monster of fear.

With Ancestor Sigler once again proves himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the sci-fi/horror genre. More than just a simple re-write, the 2010 version of Ancestor ties the novel to the overall Sigler universe and sets the stage for future novels. What sets Ancestor apart from other at times dubious retellings is not only does Sigler stay true to the original tale, but he genuinely improves the quality of the novel by fleshing out his characters and adding a few surprises; whether you are a longtime Sigler junkie or new to the Siglerverse, Ancestor has something for every reader.

The premise of the book, ostensibly, about scientists misguidedly creating a genetic nightmare for the purposes of medical research. Throw in some evil corporations, the government, and a love story and this could have been a great, easy-to-read romp.

The first problem is the page count. This book is just over 400 pages, but it does not flow well, and feels like it is a lot longer than it actually is.

The second problem is that the genetic monsters, the creatures the book are named after don't show up really until the last 100 pages. Their appearances prior to that are brief and don't create any sense of dread or foreboding. This is surprising considering how well Sigler builds tension in Infected and Contagious.

The real killer, however, as the characters. There are about 15 characters in the book, and you get a good feel for about 4 of them. The main character and his theoretical nemesis, a US government agent, never have any sort of clash, and there seems to be some real question as to how good of a person the main character is, but this is never acknowledged. The villains, a sociopath and an antisocial sycophant, painted as ex-members of Canada's elite Joint Task Force 2 are totally flat. The tertiary characters have no real foundation and seem to vacillate between wise-cracking easy goingness to deadly serious on a page-to-page basis without any seeming rhyme or reason.

Finally, and this really bothered me for some reason, Mr. Sigler seems to have developed some pre-occupation with throwing in slang that neither jibes with the characters nor is current. I mean when was the last time you heard a biologist refer to someone as "Bro" or use the word like "home-slice" or "wig out". He seems to be trying to inject some liveliness into the dialogue, but it just does not work and does not fit with who you have been lead to believe they are. Characters that should swear speak almost coyly, jokes seem forced, and over all the dialogue is the real downfall.

It's too bad, as I really enjoyed Infect and Contagious, but Ancestor really really let me down.(less)

Scott Sigler's writing style reminds me of a cross between Stephen King's and Michael Crichton's.
