    About this ebook

    Hunting, a sport that disappeared centuries ago with the death of the last wild ‘big game’ animal and the bulldozing of the last square inch of rainforest, has been brought back into vogue. Small groups of hunters venture out into the untouched wilderness of a hundred worlds and come back bloodied, draped with exotic pelts and fantastic stories.

    Adam is a new hire for Dauntless Hunting Expeditions, and it's time for him to take his first group out.

    *** This story can also be found in my collection "Fire and Other Short Stories" ***

      The earth shook violently as the enormous metal monster closed in. It was 100m away, 50, 20 … then it was on me. As I watched its giant steel tentacle, with its whirling, screaming blade, stretch down towards me, I was conscious less of the fear of a
