What this book is about
Poul Anderson's early science fiction story (collected in various volumes) is set on a Mars populated by its own people — the Martians — as human hunters pursue their prey into a world they don't fully understand. Anderson brings his characteristic craft and genuine respect for alien intelligence to a story that is as much about the ethics of hunting as about the adventure.
