If you are subscribed to The Gigcast feed, you may have notices a PDF file in your aggregator this morning. It’s a gift form Scott Sigler and The Gigcast, actually.. it’s a bribe, to get you to help promote, and hopefully buy Ancestor, the new Horror Sci-fi thriller form Scott Sigler, on April 1st(at noon EST), and put this one-time podcast only novel at the top of the charts!

If you are the type who grabs his Gigcast manually you can get the Free PDF HERE

Many of you may have heard the podcast of this novel, and you still can form www.scottsigler.net and PodioBooks.com.

Here is an excerpt from Scotts’ e-mail to The Gigcast…

I’m trying to put myself and Podcasting on the map by making my print novel ANCESTOR hit #1 on Amazon.com. I think this will be a Big Friggin’ Deal if I pull it off, but it won’t be easy. To help make that happen, I’m giving away the whole thing as a tricked-out PDF. If you’ve heard of Corey Doctorow, that’s where I got the idea. I’m taking it one step further by having podcasters put the PDF link in their RSS feeds, and on their show notes.

GOAL:
Get hundreds of thousands of people to see the PDF. Some will read it and be done, some will toss it, and some will be intrigued enough to buy the dang thing in print.

So, help a fellow to make his NightGig his Day Gig, and Download the PDF and Then on April First at Noon EST.. buy the book Ancestor from Amazon.com. Thats APRIL 1st.. at NOON for it to count towards the new stats and make Ancestor #1!
