When an unknown animal starts killing off settlers on a backwater planet run on coal and steam power, there's only person who can help stop the slaughter; T.R. Westwood. A distinguished professor of biology and the galaxy's greatest hunter, he's the man to go to when the local wildlife needs to be reminded who is the galaxy's top predator.

In a galaxy filled with millions of worlds, his specialty is evening the odds for the ones with technological restrictions. Rocks and spears or shotguns and canons, he'll use whatever is allowed to get the job done.

Review by: Pete731 on Feb. 10, 2012 : star star star star star
Enjoyable read, science fiction adventure, sort of a combination of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Beowulf. Book is well formatted, my biggest complaint is that it's too short, some parts felt a little rushed. Will be buying other books by this author, and I recommend this one.
