Against all odds, 17-year-old Gene has survived in a world where humans have been eaten to near extinction by the general population. Gene is a human, and he knows the rules. Keep the truth a secret. It's the only way to stay alive in a world of night.

Every decade there is a government sponsored hunt. When Gene is selected to be one of the combatants he must learn the art of the hunt - but also elude his fellow competitors as suspicions about his true nature grow.

His need to survive is stronger than ever - but is it worth the cost of his humanity?

Having never heard of Andrew Fukuda before I was thrown into this novel knowing very little and was pleasantly surprised to find a gripping and suspenseful read that captivated me instantly. With a constantly evolving and interesting story this a novel that I found very hard to put down.

As one of the few remaining humans - or hepers as they are known -Gene is forced to survive in a dangerous world conquered by flesh-eating, powerful predators. This task is made all the more difficult when Gene is selected to take part in the famous Heper Hunt; a hunt he may not survive..

The main concept behind Fukuda's novel is incredibly inventive and the ever-changing story and plot makes 'The Hunt' a thoroughly thrilling and suspenseful journey. A must read for action fans!
