As we mentioned previously, Scott Sigler has been hosting a video contest to promote his new book, Ancestor. Well, the votes are in and Scott has decided. Cue the drum-roll!
And the Grand Prize winner is…
“Where is Sara?” (Video #13) by Adrian Picardi
But Scott isn’t letting the other finalists walk away empty handed. They’ll each receive their own prize pack with a bunch of goodies (which you can check out when you head over to ScottSigler.com).
And there you have it. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the fun is over. If you haven’t yet checked out the other contest entries, you can still do so. Just head on over to Scott’s Video Contest entry page and have a look around. While you’re there, you can check out Scott’s readings of his novel free of charge from his homepage.
As for us, we had a chance to sit down and speak with Scott recently, so be on the look out for a few Scott Sigler editions of Suvudu On Air coming soon to our Audio section (and quite possibly to an iPod near you soon as well…hint hint)!
About Ancestor by Scott Sigler
“The ancestors are out there…you have to believe me.”
From acclaimed author Scott Sigler—New York Times bestselling creator of Infected and Contagious—comes a tale of genetic experimentation’s worst nightmare come true.
Every five minutes, a transplant candidate dies while waiting for a heart, a liver, a kidney. Imagine a technology that could provide those life-saving transplant organs for a nominal fee … and imagine what a company would do to get a monopoly on that technology.
On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, PJ Colding leads a group of geneticists who have discovered this holy grail of medicine. By reverse-engineering the genomes of thousands of mammals, 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.
With these killer creatures on the prowl, Colding and the woman he loves 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 ultimate battle for survival, Scott Sigler takes readers on the ultimate thrill-ride—and offers a chilling cautionary account of what can happen when hubris, greed, and madness drive scientific experimentation past the brink of reason.
