Book Description
Three renowned masters combine a “tense interspecies battle of wits with tangy atmospherics and a bleak lesson on the meaning of freedom. A” (Entertainment Weekly). To be adapted into a major motion picture by Exile Content Studio Running from poverty and hopelessness, Ramón Espejo boarded one of the great starships of the mysterious, repulsive Enye. But the new life he found on the far-off planet of São Paulo was no better than the one he abandoned. Then one night his rage and too much alcohol get the better of him. Deadly violence ensues, forcing Ramón to flee into the wilderness. Mercifully, almost happily alone—far from the loud, bustling hive of humanity that he detests with sociopathic fervor—the luckless prospector is finally free to search for the one rich strike that could make him wealthy. But what he stumbles upon instead is an advanced alien race in hiding: desperate fugitives, like him, on a world not their own. Suddenly in possession of a powerful, dangerous secret and caught up in an extraordinary manhunt on a hostile, unpredictable planet, Ramón must first escape . . . and then, somehow, survive. And his deadliest enemy is himself. “This is smashing SF—a great manhunt story.” —Express “[A] gritty SF adventure . . . This tightly written novel, with its memorable protagonist and intriguing extrapolation, delivers on all levels.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Martin, award-winning sf editor Gardner Dozois, and Daniel Abraham combine their talents in this tale of one man’s search for his own humanity in a universe of diminishing returns. A good choice for fans of hard sf.” —Library Journal

Pages : 152
Book Description
The hunter arrives in an isolated community in the Tasmanian wilderness with a single purpose in mind: to find the last thylacine, the tiger of fable, fear and legend. The man is in the employ of the mysterious 'Company', but his sinister purpose is never revealed and as his relationship with a grieving mother and her two children becomes more ambiguous, the hunt becomes his own. Leigh's Tasmania is a place where the wilderness can still claim lives; where the connection between people and the land is at best uneasy and cannot be trusted. In prose of exceptional clarity and elegance, Julia Leigh creates an unforgettable picture of a man obsessed by an almost mythical animal in a damp dangerous landscape. The Hunter is the work of a compelling storyteller and a truly remarkable literary stylist.
