A veteran novelist and best-selling author, James Byron Huggins' life story reads more like fiction than fact. His career as a writer began normally enough. He received a bachelor's degree in journalism and English from Troy State University, and then worked as a reporter for the Hartselle Enquirer in Hartselle, Alabam...

3.6/5. The unadorned and fast-paced beginning immediately captivated me. There wasn't much explanation; you were thrown right into the thick of things. While reading, I couldn't help but think of the great action movies of the 80s and 90s: Cliffhanger meets Predator meets Jurassic Park.
A fun ride that loses a little steam around the halfway point. Nevertheless, great entertainment! If you're looking for exciting book reviews and love James Byron Huggins's *Hunter*, this is definitely worth ch...

When will they ever learn? In the pursuit of a longer life, maybe even immortality, a scientist uses himself as a test subject. Of course, it all goes horribly wrong, and now something is out there, threatening all of humanity. A special team of military killers is assembled to hunt it down, led by a legendary hunter and tracker, Nathaniel Hunter. Accompanied by his gigantic black wolf, Ghost, they set out to find and destroy a creature that won’t go down without a fight.

Absolutely awesome!!! This book was so hard to put down. All the characters were solid and had great personalities, and I loved the wolf, Ghost, who was Hunter's partner. This was a non-stop action, adventure, thriller, and horror ride. The creature in *Hunter* reminded me of the Tank from the video game Left 4 Dead, and it was just as brutal. I highly recommend *Hunter* to fans of James Rollins & Jeremy Robinson, and films like Predator or The Relic. If you're looking for a pulse-pounding horro...

A weak book, plain and simple.
Low-grade action, unconvincing science, and cliché-ridden characters – just awful.
I really had to force myself to finish it.
The "monster" in Hunter by James Byron Huggins doesn't even deserve a mention. If you're looking for thrilling book reviews, skip this one.

I first read "Hunter" by James Byron Huggins about 13 or 14 years ago, and I absolutely loved it. I just read it again, this time on my Kindle. That might have been part of the problem, because there were so many errors in spelling and punctuation that it really detracted from the reading experience. I suppose the paper copy was scanned and then converted to ebook without anyone proofreading the file. Anyway, that's the negative.The positive is that this is one kick-ass story! Nathaniel Hunter i...

3.5/5
I read the original version of *Hunter* a long time ago and loved it. While I couldn't pinpoint exactly what's different in this second edition, I can say that even though the book is short, it felt longer this time around. If you're looking for a quick read, check out James Byron Huggins's *Hunter*, but be warned, it might feel a bit drawn out in places. Overall, still a decent book review.

I just re-read this awesome action thriller on my Kindle. I first devoured *Hunter* back in '99 or so. Loved it then, still love it now! From *Hunter* by James Byron Huggins, I branched out to all his other thrillers like: Cain, Leviathan, and another of Huggins's thrillers I picked up recently: The Reckoning. I've got all these thrillers in paperback, except, wouldn't you know it, *Hunter*. I'm planning to re-read *The Reckoning* one of these days (another Huggins book sitting on my Profile She...

Nathaniel Hunter is a loner. He's got plenty of money, but prefers living in the wilderness, his only friend a coal-black wolf named Ghost. Hunter rescued Ghost as a pup and raised him in the mountains, never interfering when the adult wolf needed to establish dominance with the wolf packs living nearby. Their enduring relationship was built on love and respect, for both man and wolf. Raised in the mountains, few can track better than Hunter. With the black wolf by his side, not many creatures c...

Miramira Endevall Presents: Hunter: The Cliff Notes Version.***Spoiler warning: if you actually care about poorly-written action genre tripe, stop reading now!***From the very second page it is clear that the protagonist, Nathaniel Hunter, is a MAN! (Manly Man!): "[Cahill] turned to the sound of sliding gravel and his mouth opened in surprise as a man, followed by a great black wolf, stepped from the door." Yup, that's a MAN! alright - he has a freakin' wolf for a pet. A wolf named Ghost!Page 3:...
