@Jumblepudding: I think the creation of the ANCESTOR probably kicks off the trip. If you’re antsy, maybe you could grab a pipette and give Jian a hand?

Thank you for this excerpt Discover. Anyone who loves science and science fiction will love Scott Sigler’s books. His books are well written, action packed, scientifically accurate and impossible to put down.

Monsters are real! But they don’t live in closets or under your bed… they were created by scientists in a lab. DNA combined to create the perfect predator. The only problem is, that’s not what was supposed to happen.

Ancestor tells the story of a good idea gone bad – TERRIBLY BAD! Although the creatures are the stuff of nightmares – and believe me, I’ll never look at a cow the same way again – the really scary thing is that at its roots, the story is not all science “fiction”. Let’s just hope the genius genetic scientists that are messing with DNA read this book before it’s too late!

Very enjoyable read, but when does the acid trip start?
