Hunter's Run reviews

Hunter's Run is a full bodied, engrossing story that is hard to put down. It develops a realistic, rich picture of a future frontier society evolving on an alien world. Set on a planet colonised by refugees from a future north american spanish ghetto state, the story revolves around one man's almost fanatical determination to survive at all costs. His, carefully crafted, blend of flawed, savage yet heroic character traits are cunningly contrasted against the Inquisition and buddhist like ruthlessness of the usual enigmatic aliens. The powerful Mexican context is delightfully bound with fanatical fauna credibily extending the link between the new alien world and Earth. The intriguing development of the main character ensures that this story isn't just a predictable chase sequence plot. Overall it is a thoroughly enjoyable, colourful read which prompts the reflective thinking that I look for in a good Sci fi yarn.
