About This Book

A governmental hunter named Ube Kinlock arrives on Planet Maggie to track and kill a massive, nearly invulnerable predator known as the Hog. Bureaucratic restrictions, local ordinances banning alien hunters, and an uncooperative pilot complicate his mission, while a native woman guides him through alien flora, fauna, and enormous hoofprints toward the swamp where the creature hides. The narrative alternates tense tracking and confrontations with the Hog with encounters that highlight cultural friction and administrative interference complicating a dangerous extermination.
