1. It's a thriller, not a horror novel.

2. "...Ancestor is the rare thriller that's based on cutting-edge science and is entirely possible."Phil Plait, PhD, author of DEATH FROM THE SKIES and creator of BadAstronomy.com

3. It has nothing to do with monopolizing technology or raping consumers.

4. The possibility of curing disease needs to be balanced against the risk of creating a pack hunter predators set about the demise of the human race.
