A skilled tracker must take down a science experiment gone wrong in the Alaskan wilderness in this thriller from the bestselling author of Dark Visions. In an experiment to extend human life, scientists accidentally tap into the deepest recesses of the human mind and unleash a force that might well be a terrible curse. For in their desire to use a power they did not understand, they … did not understand, they unintentionally unleash a force that will spell the end of Mankind if it cannot be destroyed.
Now an infected creature is loose in the Alaskan wilderness, and the America military is forced to ask the world’s greatest tracker, Nathaniel Hunter, to locate the beast and destroy it before it reaches a populated area.
Hunter can track anything, anywhere, anytime. But he is both horrified and shocked as he begins to follow the creature’s bloody path leading directly toward a city. For the beast is both more powerful and more merciless than any animal Hunter has tracked before. In fact, it seems to embody the most ancient and darkest heart of Man–a power that Mankind has always feared as the greatest Beast of Prey.
And as Hunter closes on the beast and the final, bloody battle approaches, he frantically realizes that the scientists may have succeeded all too well in their experiment to extend human life for it may have become unkillable….
Praise for Hunter

I’m sure the book would have ended up good, but I just could not get into it. I read to chapter 10 in hopes that it would pick up. The overall plot was pretty good, and it did have a couple of exciting moments, but for the most part it was hard to keep interested in. If you like a slow read, this book is for you.
If you like an innovative monster tale with all the up to date science, genetics etc we have today you’ll love it.
Intense!
Loved. This. Book. Awesome story involving a bigger than life hero and the creature he must hunt in the Alaskan Wilds. If you read Koontz “Watchers” read this. If you didn’t, (you should), read this anyway if you want action, some intrigue and a very tense hunt in the woods where something wicked this way is coming. Relentless and entertaining.
I really enjoyed this book, lots of action, a touch of romance, out of the ordinary and not too realistic. just a fun read.
Couldn’t put it down….. Great read
I loved this book so much I purchased every book James Byron Huggins has written!!! Hunter would make a great movie and I would like to read another book with Hunter as the main character. The story takes place in Alaska with the mutated monster killing everything. You learn a lot about tracking and quickly learn you Never want to go into the wilderness! I highly recommend anything written by James Byron Huggins!
I would’ve given it 5 stars, except there were places in the book where I could tell what would happen next. The characters are realistic, but you really need to read his other book first. – then you can understand some of the things that are mentioned more easily! Hunter and Ghost are really great characters and make up the best parts of this book.
I liked this book, but I like strange books with lots of blood and mayham. Totally unbelievable but I liked the charters. Reading his second book now. A little disappointing after hunter.
