Hunter Books

Shaun Huntor is, through the entirety of this book, forced to reevaluate what is possible and what is not.

First, he's your average American schoolboy, ten years old, starting to worry about girls. Then he's stolen from a bathroom stall by a thirty-something man from whom Shaun seems to have been cloned. Then he's put in command of the force (the very TINY force) defending Earth.

Then Grukan 5, the human world from which Earth unknowingly spawned, is in short order blown up. As Shaun and his team plot revenge, something, someone, starts to show his face: A supernatural being who plays with everything in the Galaxy, living and not, human and not, as we play chess, manipulating lives in a two-player game that will end for the galaxy either with life and peace or death and nonexistance.

And then as a covert operation goes bad, a seventh-grade child does something inconcieveable: he destroyes the entire enemy force and his school. And, while he's at it, he deals the two beings who play with out lives a solid slap across the face.

One of Shaun's team is running for his life; ash is settling where there once was a school; two gods nurse their wounds; coughing students are trying to survive suffocating ash. Then the book's over and we're waiting for Book Two of the Webspinner Succession.

If you read "Hunter Rising" cover to cover without stopping, it will me a fine, thrilling, sci-fi tale bursting wtih empathy. If you take a moment or two to think about it, it becomes deeply psychological. If you take a bit longer, it becomes a speculative work highlighting the battle between morals, emotion, and logic. This book is bottomless; the deeper you probe, the deeper it goes, psychologically, philospohically, morally, prosaically. The harder you look, the more you see. Logan Robert Bingham is destined to be one of the greatest writers of our time.

If you take L.E. Modesitt, Jr., and take away how formuliac his writing is; Stephen King, and add more poetic prose; Robert Jordan and replace the slow parts with pure action; Isaac Asimov and remove some of the technical detail... you'll end up with one of two people: Logan Robert Bingham or Orson Scott Card. These are nearly irrefutably two of the best SF authors to be found today.

Logan Robert Bingham writes a fast-paced story with a climax that will catch your heart, with some of the best descriptive writing in the genre. Flames gout high in the sky and a battle, somehow managing to weave technology, magic, and the supernatural together without so much as a seam to distract the reader.

Set in rural Kentucky around WWII, this book is so good, it should replace Huckelberry Finn as "the great american novel". It is a shame that it isn't better known, but unfortunately Arnow-Simpson is thought of as a regional writer. This is a very deep book, but it also has some very funny parts. Her description of pre-consumerism country life is very detailed and insightful. She saw how the world was changing, and captured a piece of it that is now long gone. I'm not even an hunting type, and I wanted to go out and get a couple of hounds after reading this. Better even than The Dollmaker, and not half as sad. Highly Recommended!

This book captures the spirit, character, and complexities of the mountain people of eastern Kentucky better than any other I have read. The individuals are simple, strong-willed, and proud like many of the people I grew up with. The descriptions of the landscape are detailed, accurate, and compelling as I remember them. For anyone interested in a better understanding of the depth of human character explained in a very readable way, this is a terrific book

If you've never read Harriette Arnow, or only know her through The Dollmaker, you'll be shocked at how stunning this novel is. Beautiful written, with some of the most complex and moving characters in literature.

This was DEFINITELY better than Watership Down. I personally read the American version, but it's pretty much the same thing, right? I suggest anyone who has read anything by either Richard Adams or Garry Kilworth read this NOW. ...

Foxes are adaptable creatures, but O-ha was a vixen who believed in tradition. In this wonderful novel that is in turn, terrifying and amusing, the reader is caught up and compelled to turn each page as a real sense of the fox builds within the imagination. An absolutely delightful romp with nature and the seasons.

Hunter's Moon is the best piece of animal fiction i have ever read. People say it's the Watership Down for foxes, but i think it's even way better than Watership Down.
Garry Kilworth has written this story in such a way that it really feels you become a fox when reading it. Also, he explains in detail the way foxes see the world, and how they came into existance.
This story is very sad in certain places, but there are a lot of funny parts too, and it's always very exciting. Not only fox lovers, but anybody else won't regret reading this book.

I loved all of these stories and can't wait for the full length stories that will come out soon. Even though each story is not very long they have lots of depth and feeling. If you want stories of healing emotionally bruised women so they can love again. These stories are for you. Also these stories are not for the faint of heart.

If you like seductive vampire heroes, you're going to love this book, because it's full of them. There's Don Raphael, once a medieval Spanish knight, now the leader of a band of vampires; Ethan Templeton, his handsome protegee who falls in love with a modern female cop; Jean Marie, a gorgeous Frenchman; and all the other wonderful heroes who populate these stories.

If you're a little wary of gore, don't be. Diane's vampires are lovers, not killers. I, personally, would hapily trade a pint of AB positive for a little of the Don's time! -- Angela Knight

Diane Whiteside has written a wonderfully erotic collection of stories about 3 vampires. I love Vampire stories anyway, but these were so well written and the stories flowed very well. These are very erotic, steamy & hot stories. I couldn't get enough! I loved the story of Don Rafael and Ethan (two of the vamps) and their first encounter with a young maiden. Lets just say they had their way with her and she wanted more! LOL I won't give away the story lines, but I do highly recommend this ebook. It is a wonderful read and one that you will pull out again and again. Ms Whiteside, if you read this, when is the next book coming out? I want more of these fine, sexy, erotic vamps!!

This book is a great culmination to much of Garlake's classic books, which adds a great deal to his work. He has done the hard work of gathering "specimens" of rock art across southern Africa, preserving or recording them, conducting related archeology, toughing through political censorship, etc. Where he hinted before at the possible meanings of cryptic art, he now fleshes out some very credible theories. I find them fairly convincing, if not compelling. Highly recommended to anyone interested. Completely accessible to the lay reader, and with lots of pictures. I also recommend various books on similar topics by J.D. Lewis-Williams, and if you like him, you'll love this.

Tons of beautiful tracings of prehistoric art and some beautiful photographs. The tracings are just as exciting as the photographs. I've barely glanced at the text, but it's an art book - who reads em?

With 185 black-and-white figures and 36 color photographs, this book is a treasure trove of ancient art. Since I bought this book mostly for the graphics, I was well pleased. 176 pages total

Pastor McCoy's book "spoke" to me. I think that some parts of this story will reach others ... but the key for me was the idea of being pursued by the Hound. There was no opportunity for the warrior to "choose" to be Saved ... he was the passive recipient of Grace ... which was clearly brought out. Make's me want to read the other books.

Rev. Michael McCoy's book "The Hunter, the Hound and a Rogue".

A short, easily read and understood book about a storyteller's story to young children. This book will be handed around my family during the Christmas break for their enjoyment (and to ward off the usual end-of-season boredom).

I received this book on Monday, this week, and read it through completely on the 2.5 hour flight to Colorado Springs; it *is* that engrossing. The storyteller's story alone is worth the purchase. Pastor McCoy's literary style makes it that much better.

The book also shows the solid Evangelical foundation of Pastor McCoy as the book is about the unavoidable love of God through His Son Jesus Christ. We are all pursued and this book will remind the reader of that. The book, for me, was poignant because of parallels in my own life in Christ.

It is written at a level that challenges but doesn't frustrate a gradeschooler and can be indulgently enjoyed by teens and adults. It is an excellent book to give to all ages because it reminds the reader so well of God's love for all mankind and from whom that love comes.

Most Christian allegories are either wooden, or not really in keeping with the message of the Bible. This one is good in all points, an excellent read, true to the Word, and very much capturing the battle for the word in a way that it truly comes alive. I would recommend this book to ANYONE, and it is a MUST READ for anyone who likes allegorical Christian fiction.

mrs.Hunter-Gault's book is very powerful.overcoming hostility and race.the fight and determination is a must read for todays youth.i couldn't put this book down.very deep.

I enjoyed the reading of this inspirational message. It is truly a must-read for adolescents who are aspiring to make their mark on the world. Mrs. Hunter-Gault shares intimate feelings of her experiences. Her book demonstrates her worthiness as a beacon to those who are searching.

Hunter-Gault's story is inspiring to all women who must transcend the prejudice and stereotyping imposed upon us by a society that has yet to learn to appreciate diversity. African, Asian, Hispanic and Caucasian-American women - all have made unique and indelible contributions to women's history and to the rich cultural history of our country. We should celebrate them in our schools and in our hearts!

As a northern deer hunter I am delighted with this book. Most of the whitetail deer books out there (at least the managment ones) are based in the south. Ozaga's book rings home with this Michigan guy.
The book is packed with great info on northern deer behavior. The photos are good and the research is sound. I wish there were more out there like it. So far, next to Alsheimer's deer books this is my favorite. I also just found a great northern food plot and habitat book called "Grow 'Em Right" by Dougherty and Dougherty which is right on the money up here in cold country.

It is not often that one encounters a book that answers long standing questions, especially those that arise from the contradictions found in the popular deer hunting press. There is nothing Gee Whiz about Mr. Ozoga, he tells it like he sees it. When he doesn't know he tells you that too. This book is based on 30 years observation and experimentation on white tails at the Cusino Wildlife Research Station and dispels many of the myths and folklore regarding deer.

Be aware, however, that this book is not easy reading, but seems to be based on the discussion and conclusion sections of his research papers. It is approachable and yields to the diligent reader. It is well worth the effort and the price.

I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Barton's review.

I have been studying and hunting Whitetail deer for over 30 years and this book actually contains useful information. Too many times books of this sort are centered on some gimmick to kill the big one. This is not the case with Ozoga's work, you will come away with a deeper understanding of the deer's habits, social order and habitat requirements. Especially for the northern deer herd. For anyone who has an interest in Whitetails this is a must read.

My husband read this book when he was 12 and now that he is 69 he still remembers the story. I think that this speaks for itself, this is a long time to remember a book. It is a great book for history and adventure.

Altsheler can paint a picture with words like no other author can. He is so descriptive with his words that you feel that you are right there in the midst of the story with the same feelings and senses as the protagonist, Henry Ware.

The Kentucky Frontiersmen is a newer version of the same book as the "The Young Trailers" that Altsheler wrote in the late 1800"s except a more modern version. The difference being that a lot of the slang is taken out and replaced with more modern words, there are illustrations and I believe that the print is larger.

I first read books from the "Young Trailer Series" back in the 50's when I was in grade school and they had a great influence on my life. I recently ordered some of the books from the Altsheler series from Amazon.com and enjoyed them again immensely. The theme represented throughout the series was the constant struggle to be the best and to be ready and prepared to prove it at anytime or it could cost an early Kentucky settler his life was a lesson that I took with me into competitive situations like sports, academics and the business world.

The "Kentucky Frontiersmen" teaches values that are so important especially to growing children that deal with responsibility, hard work, integrity, intelligence and the special type of people that built this country.

Every resident of Kentucky should read these books because historically they give an accurate view of what Kentucky was like back in the early days of settlement. What a special place Kentucky must have been and I'm sure, still is.

Sixty years ago when I first read this book it was titled The Young Trailers. I was ten years old. I'm delighted to find it still in print. It is still an exciting and educational read.

I grew up in a small town in the Pacific Northwest . Our little library carried all eight volumes of this frontier adventure series, of which The Young Trailers was the first episode. For several years I read and reread these marvelous stories. They made an indelible impression upon my mind and heart, and basically formed my image of America.

Author Joseph Altsheler was a newspaperman and prolific writer of romances and adventure stories of the American frontier. (The latter for readers of grades six through ten.) He was a knowledgeable man, well read in history, archeology, and botany (to mention but a few of his interests). He managed to weave his broad field of knowledge so skillfully into the narratives of his stories that the reader is unaware that he/she is being educated as well as entertained. He was a very successful and famous writer in the early 1900s.

Kentucky Frontiersman is written in Altsheler's usual master story teller, vivid, manner. Vivid is the key word here. Altsheler is a natural yarn spinner. We experience the primordial landscape through the acute senses of the young hero, Henry Ware, a teen-ager who is keenly perceptive of the unspoiled verdant forests, clear streams, mighty rivers, deep caves and abundance of flora and fauna of frontier Kentucky. (There are scenes of action, suspense, violence and death; but written appropriately for the age level.)

Without giving the plot away, there are just two points worth mentioning.

First is the sensible way Alsheler handles the irreconcilable confrontation with the Indians over the land. The Indians are not presented as inferior in any way to the Caucasian settlers. In fact the hero is captured by an Indian tribe and finds the primitive culture more amenable to his inner affinity than his settler upbringing. He happily "goes Native" and finds a deep spiritual affinity and unity with nature while living with the Indians.

Second, and importantly, Altsheler portrays in dramatic form the theory put forward by his contemporary, historian Frederick Jackson Turner. Turner's "The Significance of the Frontier in American History" was published in 1893, when Altsheler was age 31. Altsheler must have been familiar with Turner's work. Turner's thesis was that the spirit and success of the United States is directly tied to the country's westward expansion. According to Turner, the forging of the unique and rugged American identity occurred at the juncture between the civilization of settlement and the savagery of wilderness. This produced a new type of citizen - one with the power to tame the wild and one upon whom the wild had conferred strength and individuality.

The six volume set of The Young Trailers should be on the library shelves of all schools for grades six through ten. I know of no other comparable literature that conveys this important part of American history in such an accessible form for our young Americans. It is a part of American culture that is being lost, as our young citizens are being overwhelmed by trivia and gadgetry.
