Customer Reviews

Xenophanes

This is an excellent story. It keeps you engaged and thinking. It is all wrapped in a package about a very plausible and scary use of biotechnology. All who love biotechnology, monsters, or plain action should snap this up. Be forewarned that it is difficult to just read one Sigler novel. You will be coming back for more!

Ancestor rules!

If you are a fan of science fiction monsters then you seriously owe it to yourself to check out Scott Sigler's Ancestor. Everything starts with real science, taken just a step or two further. Then come the crazy characters, and THEN come the Ancestors, one of the most original science fiction monsters I've read about in a long time. You'll never look at cows the same way again. I absolutely loved this book.

Action from Start to Finish

What I love about Scott Sigler's stories is that they grab your attention and don't let go until you close the book. Creative characters, blood thirsty monsters and plot twists that would make Stephen King proud! This is a book to add to your library! Get it now.

Jurassic Park on Steroids!!

This novel is extremely well written. Not only is the science explained in depth, the characters are each developed wonderfully, often with flashbacks and other really clever ways of informing the reader. There are twist and turns abound. WARNING! Once you pick this novel up, you will not be able to put it down!!!!

Non stop thrill ride

This book is wonderful the story is full of great characters and nice twists and turns. If your not sure you would like the book just go to his web site and download one of his Podcasts where Scott reads the book for you, but be warned its like crack and you might become one of his junkies. (Its a good additction though) Thanks Scott
