5.0 out of 5 stars So far everything of Boulter's is worth reading. 11 Sep 2011

I don't care much for short stories. Avoid them most of the time. But since it was D A Boulter's I read it. And if Boulter writes another short story I will probably read it, but I would really like to see another full length story with intriguing plot and characters from Boulter. What can I say: This author can write.

4.0 out of 5 stars creative, well developed 18 Jan 2012

Prey is cleverly written; we find out what Krin is by how she acts and interacts. The characters make sense from the beginning and our understanding of them grows through the story. I love the subtlety and parallel to a classical story (a very obscure parallel until the very end, so it doesn't ruin the ending) but even if I didn't pick up on it, I would think it is a well crafted story.

I can't resist sharing my favorite lines, "Her ears went back to the angle of disgust. Traitors: may they all go to Tlar with fur in disarry!"

There is one somewhat jarring note... WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILER IN THE REST OF THIS REVIW............... I can believe Creslot learned a few words in Krin's language but not that they would include the ones he used later. I don't think a universal translator explains that. It doesn't make sense that it would give those words without giving others would have been as useful or more useful later and much easier to figure out from the available contexts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who is? 6 Jun 2012
By P.A.Morgan - Published on Amazon.com

This story starts off with the hunter becoming the prey of its prey. As the story unfolds you will learn the reasons for this occurance. The huntress then meets a human and this unfolds a new thread to the tale. The author does not disappoint in this story. He leaves your mind open to dreaming up side stories for his characters. There is at the end a sense for what is to happen. Well written.
