Imagine a world, not too far removed from our own, where the race is on to create a new animal that can act as a host to grow organs for human transplants. Sounds like a headline in the paper today? We'll, let's hope not.

This world imagined by gore-master Scott Sigler, of Earthcore, Infection and Rookie podcast fame, gifts us all with this tale of science for the good of mankind going horribly bad.

What is even better yet is that  he is offering the PDF version of his book free to download in the hopes that people will like it enough to go buy his book on Amazon.

In fact, he hopes that people will be moved enough to make their purchase at 9 am PDT or 12 noon EDT on April 1, 2007 to see if he can't force himself onto the Amazon charts.

Well, having been a junky (an affectionate term used to describe those of us addicted to his stories, looking forward to each episode/podcast like a junky looking for a fix) since his first podcast Earthcore, I'm compelled to share this with my friends.

So, if you are looking for sci-horror that takes Crichton-style storyline and injects it with action and lots, and lots of gore, you owe it to yourself to check this book out.

I know I'll be getting my copy on April 1st; and that ain't no joke.
