I am one of the lucky folks to have read, and own, the original 2007 printing of Scott's ANCESTOR novel. I was a bit skeptic hearing about the new re-written 2010 ANCESTOR novel, but no more.
From page one the action starts and is non-stop throughout the novel. Whether it's in the lab, in the air or on the ground, ANCESTOR will keep you turning page after page. The science behind ANCESTOR has been updated to include the our latest viral threats, current advances and understanding in the field of Xenotransplantation and cloning as well as the possible consequences of such science, and believe me there are consequences!
The novels characters are all well developed and believable. The characters run the gamut of despicable and brutal, greedy and conniving, unbalanced and genius to very likable and even crassly funny at times. The ANCESTOR project was a project to save lives. But as the novel unfolds you'll find yourself drawn in as the sheer brutal horror of what the ANCESTOR project is truly creating begins developing within the pages. Even through all the brutality and murderous mayhem you will still find a brief, but good chuckle or laugh.
If you are a fan of Scott Sigler's works or just a Sci-Fi horror fan you will find ANCESTOR most entertaining and disturbingly horrific. So with that I say bon appétit, eh!

Crescent is a very creepy & eerie outer space experience
Phil Rossi has a way with words that allows you to visualize and experience the eeriness and darkness that haunts and plagues the inhabitants of Crescent station. This book will suck you and keep you there until the last page is turned. Crescent is a excellent blending of science fiction and ghost story. Add to that dealing with personal conflicts such as a character of high position that is nothing more than self serving egotist that can make your life (or death) hell on Crescent. All these elements come together to create one hell of a fascinating tale of horror in deep space! Phil Rossi scares me.....

AMAZING! That's what I consider JC Hutchins. I followed JC though the tremendous adventure of his 7th son series, a magnificent trilogy. Now his new novel Personal Effects: Dark Art has completely blown me away. To start, I have been unknowingly following one of the characters from JC's new novel on twitter for some time now. Then after reading the book, I find out that pixelvixen707 (Rachael Webster) is not real even a real person, but a character from his novel! I was completely oblivious to that fact, such genius! I have immensely enjoyed reading PE:DA. I found myself completely immersed in the life of Zach Taylor and his work at the "Brink". I've also had great fun on the Internet and on the cell phone following up on and chasing down answers to the clues held within the book and those contained in personal effects material that are included with the book. I can tell you this, once you've been pulled into the PE:DA world you'll be nervously looking over your shoulder, be startled and have your hair stand on end when hearing little eerie noises in the night, find yourself avoiding the shadows and sleeping with the lights on!
If you still questions after all these recommendations, check out the Vlurbs (video blurbs) at JC's Website. JC together with Michael Bekemeyer, they have created some rather creepy previews that movie studios wish they could have come up with. I mean, if the book makes the father of Jason Vorhees not want to go to sleep at night, how could PE:DA be something you'd not want to read!
Oh yes and thanks to JC, I AM AFRAID OF THE DARK!
