Product Description

Wyatt Dorren, U.L.F. team leader, is the rarest of breeds: an ex-convict who has become a productive member of society, trapping U.L.F.’s- Unidentified Life Forms- from newly discovered planets and returning with them for exhibition at the Interplanetary Zoo. Wyatt inspires loyalty and courage in his team members, but nothing from his dark past, or his years of trapping dangerous aliens, can prepare Wyatt for what’s in store now.
 
The victim of a conspiracy, believing that he is on a regular hunt, Wyatt is sent on a one-way trip to a planet more fundamentally hostile than any he’s seen before. Wyatt must uncover the plot and help his new rag-tag team of trappers learn to fight for survival while sniffing out the traitor in their midst.  Could it be Chris or Alex, the seemingly inept rookies?  Kit, the unrepentant criminal?  Par, the charming Swede?  Byron or Bobby, whom Wyatt has trusted for years?  Or could it be Kate, the young biologist who seems to have no place at all on this expedition?  Regardless of their motivations and differences, the team is forced to work together to elude the hostile flora and fauna of a nightmarish world. 
 
Without a working ship, Wyatt must somehow find them a way back to Earth—each team member will need to draw on courage and a resourcefulness they didn’t know they had, as the hunters become the hunted on this alien world. Some of the team may not survive, and Wyatt soon realizes that if he wants to have a future, he must confront his secretive past.

In his captivating first novel, Stuart Clark has crafted an innovative and riveting masterpiece. Project U.L.F. is a non-stop thrill ride from beginning to end, with surprises around every corner that will leave you desperately turning the pages to find out what will happen next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Enjoyable Read, October 2, 2007
By 
A friend recommended this book to me, even though Science Fiction isn't normally my first genre choice. Not only did I quickly become engrossed in the story and finding out the fate of my favorite characters, but by the end of the book I was hoping that another installment would be coming soon. I eagerly await future books featuring Wyatt. I have to agree with the reviewer who mentioned a film script feel. I can easily see a movie developed from the world and characters Mr. Clark has deftly created.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Rollercoaster Ride with plenty of Action and Humour, April 26, 2007
Stuart Clark has put together a strong combination of character, plot and environment to create a novel and entertaining tale.

There are many aspects to the book that are derivative of other famous tales (eg Alien, Predator, ever Star Wars) and on the whole the story reads like a suggestion for a Movie (but not a bad one!). This does not detract from the book, though. In fact the author humorously acknowledges his debt to the past and then builds in some very original twists and turns.

The story combines elements of a mystery thriller, sci-fi and action-adventure and doesn't shy away from tackling some reasonably intricate relationships between the characters. Once the central mission within the story is underway, then the tale gathers pace and becomes a real page-turner with one gripping scenario after the other, focusing mainly on
action and suspense.

The zoological thread of capturing creatures from around the galaxy give a new dimension to the "hunt or be hunted" cliche and formed a nice backdrop for a well measured back-story that provided enough motivation for some of the characters behaviour, but didn't bog them down in too much dialogue or analysis.

There's also intelligence and imagination in the description of the various ghoulies and beasties that the team encounter on the dangerous voyage to the mystery planet, and some of the technical background detail adds an air of authenticity to the seemingly near-future technology and society.

The writing style is occasionally a little forced, but definitely finds its feet once the action gets going. For escapism and fun, highly recommended. I look forward to the next one!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Zoo for the Universes bounteous creatures., October 7, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This adventure in space builds a vivid picture of future time and distant worlds, populated by the exotic creatures of bounteous creations every bit as diverse as the Earth's. We have a diverse team of specimen collectors sent, not so much to gather, as to die. This is a great adventure undertaken by a group of strongly cast individuals, who must choose between desperate cooperation and death. Not a hard choice, one may think! An adventure that can grab the imagination of those of all ages,in short, the sort of engaging book that now so rarely makes it through the vile and shocking to the front of our few remaining book-stores. This is the sort of SF that readers across most mainstream genres can enjoy.
