Ancestor is a novel written by Scott Sigler.
Up until recently, it was avalable on itunes as a podiobook. I dunno if it's still avalable elsewhere.
Ancestor is a story about a company's desire to bring back an ancient creature to use for organ transplants. As the project progresses, the sinister nature of these ancestors is revealed.
Content:
- The story is quite captivating, especially around the middle.
- Characters aren't ultra-deep, but there's a bit of depth to them.
- Plot twists were relatively original until the very end at which point the story lost some momentum along with a good bit of my interest.
Host:
- Scott Sigler does all the voices himself. The female and deep voices are so-so, but his other voices are quite interesting.
- He rarely adresses the audience, prefering to just tell the story. This keeps things short and to-the-point.
Sound Quality:
- Flawless as far as I can tell.
- The transition music is very low-key and lets the story flow while getting the change in perspective or location across.
- There is a problem regarding this in one chapter where the perspective constantly changes between two people in the same area. This gets kinda annoying really quickly.
Overall:
4/5 - Not a must-watch, but pretty damn good.

Thanks for spreading the word on Scott's book. Glad you liked it!
E.
You're right about the POV shifts - it looks GREAT on paper, but doesn't come across that well in audio. I'm glad you got some entertainment out of it.
I was thinking recently that it's hard to keep sci-fi fresh these days given how much has already been done, used and re-used in films and books. I'll give it a whirl to see how it stands up.
Holy crap! It's you!
This is pretty damn awesome.
Anyway, just out of curiosity, how did ya find this blog?
It's pretty new and obscure as far as I can tell.
