Product Description

Product Description

The group around dan's brother had been held together by a mutual taste for liquor and endless arguments. Now, high in the mountains on a quest to see who could bag the biggest deer, old jealousies and hatreds were being dusted off and revived. Everyone knew an explosion was coming. No one knew who would survive. And none of them were willing to turn back. Reissue.

Ingram

When his brother's gang of drinkers and wife-stealers begins a hunting expedition, old jealousies quickly become out of control and turn the men against each other, and Dan Alders must help them all to survive. Reissue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hunting High And Low Paid Off, Jun 25 2000
By Micah Woodfin (Henet, California) - See all my reviews
About ten years ago, I read this book about a bunch of guys going out hunting in the mountains. After losing/misplacing/etc. the book, all I could remember of the book that the author's name was David something and the word hunt was in the title. A few months ago, also being a sci-fi fan, I picked up something by Eddings, saw his other works, and bagged myself a copy of "High Hunt" which I've read a couple of times already, and recommended it to everyone. If you're looking for just a damn good read, this is it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very captivating., Jan 14 2000
By "m-jacobs" (PA, USA) - See all my reviews
I was introduced to Eddings through the Belgariad, which held my interest because of its excellent character development. High Hunt is lacking in this aspect. I felt that the main character was written as though it was Eddings himself he was writing about. This is the only character that has any substance. The antagonist is the typical one-dimentional unlikable guy for 3/4 of the book, at which point he's actually given some real human characteristics. It was too little-too late for this novel. It may be that this book comes too close to how real human relationships work. As characters of our own human dramas, we tend to fit most casual acquaintences into neat little packages. An unlikable relative, an edgy ex-marine, a prep, a fat guy. High Hunt reads like that. However, as a reader, I expect these characters to be developed. I've got enough 1-dimensional relationships; I don't need to read about them. One positive was that Eddings' humor is evident throughout this book, as it is through his others. There's just not enough depth to High Hunt to make it a winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars An author with flexibility, Dec 7 1999
By A Customer
High Hunt illustrates that David Eddings is more than just a fantasy writer. This is simply a good adult story one would not expect from a the best fantasy writer ever
