      THE HUNTERS

      BY WILLIAM MORRISON

      ILLUSTRATED BY VAN DONGEN

      To all who didn't know him, Curt George was a mighty hunter and actor. But this time he was up against others who could really act, and whose business was the hunting of whole worlds.

      We must have our story prepared first.

      Palit nodded, and the
