An action-packed prequel to the new IllFonic video game PREDATOR: HUNTING GROUNDS - revealing deeply buried secrets in the battle between the ultimate hunters and their human prey.

This official prequel novel leads into the new PlayStation®4 video game from IllFonic. PREDATOR: STALKING SHADOWS is the bridge between Predator 2 and the current day continuity. U.S. Marine Scott Devlin takes on a new assignment that begins with the clean-up of a Los Angeles combat scene revealing what appears to be alien weapons and tech. His next mission, to an equatorial jungle, seems like an assault on a drug cartel until his team finds human bodies, skinned and suspended from the trees. Justifiably freaked out, Devlin digs deeper and discovers hidden truths, clandestine agencies, savage opponents... and an unexpected ally.

A mediocre addition to the line-up of Predator novels

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020

I haven't played the video game, so I admittedly don't know how well this book ties in or doesn't. However, I'll say that I found the writing to be mediocre and clunky at times (disappointingly, as I enjoyed James A. Moore's other Predator book, Hunters and Hunted.) Scenes featuring the titular aliens are very minimal, and the main character didn't interest me much. Most of this reads like a standard action/military book, complete with all manner of clichéd soldiers padding out the background. I know that's somewhat par for the course for this franchise, but compared to many of the other novels I've read, this one was particularly skimpy on actual Predator content. If you like Predator for the action heroes and fight sequences, you might very well enjoy this, but if you're interested in the alien itself, you'll no doubt find yourself skimming like I did.

Some military gaffs but a solid read nonetheless

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2020

This novel ties in movies 1, 2, 4 in a seamless way. If you can look past some of the military mistakes (mostly rank) I think you’ll enjoy this book. It follows a soldier moving through the ranks who finds himself being drawn into the predator universe slowly but surely lead by a mysterious figure named Dutch (who still rules). The novel doesn’t feature as much predator action as I’d like but when it goes there it’s solid stuff. Instead, it gives you a real protagonist to follow and get to know instead of some nameless guy. This is something some of the best predator novels do like concrete jungle & turnabout. I actually found myself feeling for this guy and connecting with his journey. The novel also fills in the gaps between films which was really cool.
If you enjoy the films and want a fun read I’d recommend this book. Enjoy!

Easy 5 star read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 27, 2020

The Predator franchise has it's highs and lows, but generally has some very good films. The first three films in the series are all good for various different reasons, and whilst 2018's The Predator was generally seen as a disappointment that's still only one of the four films that's really classed as bad. Over the years the franchise has tried to expand out into different mediums, such as novels, comics, and video games. Whilst it's received acclaim in comics and games, novels tends not to be a medium where people sing its praises as much.

I've found that this can sometimes come down to the fact that it an be hard to capture a lot of the tension and horror that the films have on the written page, and that Predator books can sometimes feel a little flat. This is most certainly not the case with Predator Stalking Shadows, as I found it to not only be incredibly engaging and character driven, but at times was genuinely scary too.

Predator Stalking Shadows doesn't focus on just one event, on a singular predator incursion, and this really works to its advantage. Instead we follow Scott Devlin, a member of the US Marines, over the course of a number of decades as he slowly begins to learn the truth about the existence of these extraterrestrial hunters, and becomes drawn into the fight against them. As such, the book becomes more about him than the titular monsters; and this is such a good thing.

We get to see Scott as a relatively young man, fresh onto a special unit and going out on top secret missions. We get to see him get to know the soldiers around him, and we get to come to care for them the same way that he does. This means that when Scott and his comrades eventually end up in positions where they're going up against the Yautja you are hoping that these people make it through these encounters, and become genuinely heartbroken when some of them don't.

Not only was this so refreshing a development, I genuinely shed a couple of tears during one particularly poignant funeral scene, but I think it's probably the first time that I've ever really cared about a character death in the entire Predator franchise. Yes, it's disappointing when the cool marines die in the first film, and I genuinely hoped that Danny Trejo would have lasted longer in Predators, but this was the first time that I found myself caring about them as people, upset that they were leaving wives and children behind when they passed away.

But this is what the book is really good at. It's not a book about the spectacle of the predators, or the horror of being in their hunting ground, it's a story about the people in these situations. It's one of the most grounded, human stories in the entire franchise.

The book also features the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch, and shows what he's been doing in the years since the first Predator film. He's the character that we occasionally see fighting the predators, and whilst these moments are fairly fleeting they do help to carry the story along, giving readers brief moments of action as the rest of the book works on character and world building. For as many times as we get to see Dutch in action against the creatures we also get second hand stories about what he's been doing and how his mission has been getting on. Rather than feeling cheated by these, hoping for a 'show don't tell' approach instead, they feel a lot more real. We're supposed to be following Scott and his particular journey, so it makes sense to stick with him and instead of seeing Dutch's moments seeing them through Scott's eyes; which is learning about them after the fact.

I don't know much about the game that this is setting up, Predator Hunting Grounds, and imagine that it's more laying some very background framework for the game and explaining why Dutch is still around, as I do know he appears in the game. But I have to be honest, I wouldn't have cared half as much about the game before reading this book. The book makes it feel like there's a more cohesive world inside the Predator franchise, it makes it feel like the films and this new game are connecting in more than just name and IP. And better yet, the book manages to stand on its own and stays a brilliant piece of work without needing to connect into the game.

Predator Stalking Shadows is easily one of the best Predator novels that I've read. It captures the feel and tension of the films without relying on it to make its story. It centres on realistic people, it makes you care about the characters and the world in ways the franchise hasn't before. A masterful piece of fiction.

Something in those trees!

Hi, the item was received in short order as described. There was a minor crease on the top right of the book's cover which suggests Amazon or whichever sub-contractor they are using does not invest in internal packaging wrapping which is disappointing. However this is a minor issue as the rest of the book is in pristine condition. The font and type-set is consistent with the style this type of mass-market paperback is often presented with, as anticipated. I have only read 2 chapters so far but the writing is sound and the story fits in nicely with cannon; jumping in right after the events of Predator 2, with Adam Baldwin's Agent Garber and Dutch Shaeffer making an appearance at the start of the story. Chapter 2 properly commences the story with a Private Scott Devlin recruited as part of a security force deployed after the ship has taken off at the finale of Predator 2. At this point he encounters James Keyes from the OWLF task force who appears an asks Private Devlin for his help. I am sure this will turn out to be a good book and a well-told story. If so, we can hopefully establish this (and the Hunting Grounds Computer Game) as cannon and banish from our minds the truly awful memories of the 'The Predator' movie which was released in 2018.

A Brilliant addition to the franchise.

One of the best novels from the Predator franchise. The book covers the timeframe from right after the events of the Predator 2 film and follows the saga up to and including the most recent game Predator: Hunting Grounds. The story leads you through the ongoing fight against the Yautja and brings new frightening variants of the Predators that we've not seen before. And if you wondered what happened to Dutch from the original Predator movie then this is a must read. A great addition to my collection.

An excellent addition to the predator canon

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

I thought this was a very well written story with a compelling lead character. There was some exciting action and predator fans will love reading how some of the returning characters from the franchise fit into the story. Now I will agree with some of the criticism I have seen about how the predators themselves are not really focused on. There is a bit of a missed opportunity here as there is not much expansion to predator lore. I was a bit confused as to whether a new type of predator was introduced in one action scene. In some of the other novels it's been great to read from the predators POV and I felt that could have made the story stronger for predator fans. Overall though I would recommend the novel as I felt it was a good read.

Let’s go Dutch

Action packed with great characterisation. The pacing and implementation of the backstory is handled brilliantly and it has a surprisingly emotional finale. The overall resolution is a little inconclusive but that’s understandable given that the novel leads into the recently released video game.
