"When the hunter becomes the prey . . ."
Book synopsis (The back of the book says)
Nobody knows where they came from.
Nobody knows what they want.
The creatures are killing humans for meat and nobody, it seems, can stop them.
Now one man - a hunter by trade - has trapped one of the creatures. Under the ground, they face each other. And only one of them will get out alive.
For the World Book Day 'Quick Reads' promotion, Tom Holt has written a powerful fantasy thriller with a brilliant sting in the tail.
One view is that mankind has a desperate need to believe in something, preferably something so blatantly absurd that only blind, unquestioning faith will suffice - for example, the belief which sprang up in the late nineteenth century and was still widely current in Jason Derry's time and which held that human beings were not in fact created at all but were somehow the descendants of bald, mutant monkeys. The other view is that there is never anything much on television during the summer.
All stories/filksongs is written by Tom Holt, and not by me.
