Book Overview

The Hunters...

With eager anticipation, Inupiat police officer Ray Attla joins two of his police buddies, Lewis and Billy Bob, to trek into the Alaskan Bush country on a three-day caribou hunt. But when gear and supplies are lost among other disasters, Ray, trained by his grandfather in the Inupiat ways of survival, takes charge. Fishing for food, the trio pulls in the catch of the day-only to find the menu includes the remains of a human head.

Become the Hunted

Deciding the recreational trip is a bust, Ray and company risk the raging rapids of the Kanayut River to search for a way home--and possibly some clues to the victims demise. But Ray's hopes that this is just the tragic result of an accident are dashed when he and the party are suddenly dodging bullets. Fleeing on foot to a remote archeological dig, Ray begins to suspect that the unearthed artifacts are not the only remains to come out of this site. Coincidentally--or at the hands of the Inupiat gods--Ray encounters a young Athabascan girl who is gifted with a "special sight." The intuitive girl's visions arm Ray with fragments of the information and soon, he is following her lead into the vast Alaskan wilderness to hunt a cagey killer who has declared open season on the police officer.

This Author Knows His Stuff !

Inupiat officer Ray Attla, against his better judgement, goes hunting with his 2 friends also Barrow policemen Lewis and Billy Bob. Ray finds himself stranded in the wilds of the North Slope of Alaska with most of his equipment at the bottom of a lake courtest of likable but inept Lewis, and Billy Bob, a Texan transplant who doesn't have a clue of what survival in the Alaskan bush is all about. To complicate matters they find a severed head. Ray must somehow figure out how to get his friends out of the bush alive,and solve the mystery of the head despite being hunted by the bad guys. A very entertaining book. The author has impressive knowlege of the Alaskan bush and native Inupiat culture. Being a transplanted Alaskan myself, I can vouch from experience that the depiction of the native dialect was realistic. An excellent book!

Season of Death by Christopher Lane

As Ray and his buddies, Billy Bob and Lewis leave on their hunting trip, he thinks he hears his wife tell him they are going to have a baby. He is not sure about fatherhood and, when the gear gets dumped in the river, he is not sure about this hunting trip. Then they find a head without a body. The plot is well-constructed and entertaining but the attempt at dialect for Lewis and Billy Bob is annoying. Fortunately, Ray is the smartest one in the group and the trip he takes the reader on is most entertaining. Somewhat similar to John Straley in characterization but much more action. I found it worth the money!
