The Hunt

Hunting, a sport that disappeared centuries ago with the death of the last wild ‘big game’ animal and the bulldozing of the last square inch of rainforest, has been brought back into vogue. Small groups of hunters venture out into the untouched wilderness of a hundred worlds and come back bloodied, draped with exotic pelts and fantastic stories.

Adam works for Dauntless Hunting Expeditions, and it's time for him to take his first group out.
