4.0 out of 5 stars Aliens use earth as hunting preserve; humans eventually win., May 31, 1999

This review is from: Hunters (Paperback)

Colorado based forest ranger survives posioning of earth by alien invaders who eventally stock the earth with a variety of nasty animals from across the universe. Aliens use captured humans for labor and bait. Ranger attacts a few survivors who learn to avoid alien detection by various means. Generations pass as humans sink deeper in degradation. Eventally a great grandson of the original forest ranger sets out to explore and eventually gains the skill and self confidence to attack the alien's huge basecamp with assorted human remnants he has gathered along the way. They catch the aliens off guard and deal a devastating blow to their base. The end. It was a pretty good book by Lovejoy. I bought it years ago, the year it was published. Always thought it was ripe for a sequal.

This review is from: Hunters (Paperback)

One of the most outstanding Science Fiction short stories I have ever read. The only knock is it isn't long enough, would make an exceptional movie. Deserves a longer sequel.

This review is from: Hunters (Paperback)

I first read this book in 1988 when I was away at college. I enjoyed it so much that I probably read it another three times prior to graduating. I had searched for this title over the years without much success so I was overjoyed that I was able to find it. Bottom line is that I think that this is a truly great work of science fiction. My only complaint is that there was not more of the story as I could have easily digested another three hundred or more pages. Now that I own the title I am certain that I will read it over and over in the coming years.
