Product Description
The Slayer and the Slain--
A modern Navajo warrior follows the trail of his people's most savage legend come to life.
Deep in the rugged New Mexico desert, a strange aircraft has landed. In response, the commander of a nearby army base sends out search patrols. What he doesn't know is that an alien Predator has arrived, hunting for human prey. But Corporal Enoch Nakai, a Navajo soldier, sees the creature in action--his buddy slaughtered in a blinding flash--before narrowly escaping with his life.
For Nakai, it is a Navajo legend come back to life: the return of the Horned Monster, who was destroyed by the hero Nayenezgani, the mythical Monster Slayer. Shunned by his comrades, Nakai knows there is only one hope. He must rediscover his Navajo roots by following in the Monster Slayer's footsteps. Using the wisdom of his ancestors, Nakai will confront the Predator in a final battle worthy of legend. But this time, will the hero emerge the victor?

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sandy Schofield is an excellent writer; when I read Aliens: Rogue, I was breathless throughout the whole story. However, Predator: Big Game was too short, and you never really got to know the characters except for Enoch Nakai. It was never explained why the Predator blew up his own ship, and as far as "The Hunt" goes that the Predators always embark on when they come to Earth, there wasn't anything significant about it in Big Game. All it was was "Bang, you're dead" over and over and over. It got boring. I didn't even want to finish the story for fear of being completely dissatisfied. All in all, I hope your next book can be as good as Aliens: Rogue, Sandy.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I enjoyed reading this Predator book it was fast paced, had a lot of action and I enjoyed the Indian legend tie in. I thought it might have been a little better if we could have known what the Predator was thinking from time to time. They can fly a space craft, build advanced weapons and act highly intelligent, so why blow up your only means of transportation when you can go in and take it back whenever you want? It was the "Why?" thing that bothered me the most otherwise I like the book.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I liked the book, that is to say I didn't dislike it. But I like most things Predator. As a die-hard fan it fits nicely into the mythology and doesn't destroy roots made from previous Predator-lore. It takes the Predator in a different direction in terms of prey, kind of going back to nature a little. Some parts seemed chilling, other fast paced. On the whole its a good read.
Not the best in the franchise, but it wont have you sorry you bought it.
