Product Description
On a remote South China Sea island, a deadly hunt is underway... but not the kind of expedition the participants expected. In this remote, jungle-covered island somewhere between Thailand and Indonesia some of the most exotic animals in the world have been gathered as the prizes in a challenge of human against nature. The hunters come from all walks of life. Each has come to the island for personal reasons, some secret, some deadly. But when the encampment's owner, ex-Khmer Rouge Colonel Rath Preap, finds the fences cut and his security men missing, it's clear that the game has turned. And as the hunters battle for survival, they discover there is another creature out for blood... an adversary that has faced death on a thousand worlds - a Predator with an unstoppable lust for conquest!

4.0 out of 5 stars Predator: South China Sea (Predator), November 17, 2008

By	John R. Dailey Jr. "jrd02" (Camden, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hello, I read this book and enjoyed reading it. The story is fairly compelling and interesting. The Predator is this story seemed to have his act together better than some in the other books. I would have to like to have seen PolPot play a bigger part, but it is not my book. I still do not think that the authors of the Predators books have a real grasp of these beings. As a hunter myself, I feel that the predator made some mistakes that he should not have made. If you are like me and get into these sort of books, I think you will enjoy this one. Thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Predator: South China Sea, February 22, 2009

By	Lionel W. Gibbons - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are still some Predator books out there I have not read but to date, this is the best one yet. Full of colorful characters with secrets which cause plot twist through out the book. I can see why the writer was an award winner. There wasn't a dull moment in the book. The Predators talents were on display and I was pleased to see that there were some savvy human beings too. They weren't just there to be slaughtered. What a fine book. I look forward to reading more from this good author!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Epic Predator - Ever!, December 5, 2008

By	Michael & Angela (Florida) - See all my reviews

OMG! Dark Horse has found a writer that took the Predator franchise into the stratosphere.

After reading this fantastic novel, it is clear why Predator newcomer writer, Jeff VanderMeer has awards for his writing. This is more epic and better than the original!

VanderMeer's cast of human characters are so hardcore that they kinda made Arnold Schwarzeneggar and his band of soldiers look like nusery school kids. Great and epic stuff, this!

And this predator too is the baddest of the bad, making previous Predators also seem like pre-adolescent Preds. Fantastic!!

Riveting, harrowing, dark and bloody, Predator: South China Sea will surely please REAL Predator fans to its extreme limits.

If only Hollywood could produce gold products like this...
