Renegade: The Hunter

Rating:
Summary: Great Book
Review: I am a very finnicky reader. If I cannot get hooked in a book by the end of the 1st page, I will not read it. This was a great book, I held my breath until the very end. The best part was the master hunt; All three boys basically grew up together(though in different families)they had to hunt alone for this master hunt and draw upon what their leader, Broken Spear, had taught them. Even though mistakes were made, they were able to overcome the impossiblities that they alone were faced with; and were all able to overcome the adversity in their lives and graduate to Master Hunters.

Summary: Basic carnivore instinct meets high tech
Review: Often fantasy novels involve quests through dangerous environs to retrieve arkane artifacts to do nothing less than save the country, if not the world, if not the known universe.

Renegade: The Hunter is a pleasant variation. Really it is a coming of age story set in an amazing milieu. The texture of the society reaches back in time when societies were based on hunting, and when good hunters were revered for their skills in providing for the tribe. Then it merges the primal forces with the high tech wizardry of interstellar travel. The combination provides exceptional combinations of twists and experiences as three young hunters learn from the old master. The reader learns and grows with Renegade and his two friends as they survive the training and trials of becoming Master Hunters.

I was particularly drawn to Broken Spear, the old Master Hunter and teacher. The hunting philosopy and code intrigued me as I experienced the growth process with they young novices.

The novel is complete within itself, but I certainly hope there will be more adventures in the lives of the three young hunters

Summary: Renegade a great adventure
Review: Renegade the Hunter is an absolutely great tale of adventure.
The main character is a young carnivore on an alien planet learning the ways of his ancestors.
He has multiple encounters with the unknown on his journey, barely surviving some of them.
The author paints a fascinating picture: "A big luminous form shimmered near the end of the bough. Two huge golden eyes stared into mine. Two phosphor-white fangs curved from its upper jaw."
It is extremely engrossing, a five star novel.

Summary: A mix of primitive and high-tech...
Review: The huntress mother of Young Slasher knew very early that he would be special. The huntress went to "Broken Spear, Esteemed Great Warrior of the Clan Rydderrak" to ask for her son to be raised to Hunt Law. The old clan warrior agreed.

Young Slasher earned his new name, Renegade. Renegade would be trained to handle anything that any world could possibly throw at him. He and his two friends, Dasrylion and Rampage, would endure harsh training, severe survival tests, and (eventually) the most lethal trial of all - The Master Hunter. The last was solo. Each teen must endure the Master Hunt alone, knowing that many young hunters never returned from the ultimate hunt.

**** An interesting mix of primitive hunting/training and high-tech gadgets kept me guessing as to what would happen next. The author ended the novel in a way that it could be "stand-alone" OR someday have a sequel. The story left me with the wonderful feeling of victory for Renegade and hopeful for another adventure with him in the future! ****
