A good hunt!
This was a valid and somewhat successful attempt at Predator lore. Good for the fact that all the technical side had been stripped away, leaving out and faults that can be connected to Forever Midnight. And rather reminescent of the first Predator film. Its simple. Small Clan land on Earth and hunt. And for that you can't flaw it. The characters are interested, being drawn more to the villains. It was simple and successful, I don't think eithr die-hard Predator fans, or people just after a read will be disappointed. I know I wasn't, and I am truly die-hard.

Good read, definitely brings out the hunter in you.
Steve Perry and his daughter have written a few of my favourite books, namely some pretty excellent Aliens and AVP tites that, like their graphic novel companions, take a no holds barred approach with the subject matter of murderous extraterrestrials.

"Turnabout" is one of a new series that Dark Horse Books has been publishing recently to kinda tie-in with the latest AVP movies, sadly most of them have been pretty dire fare compared to the heart-pounding reads that the original Predator and Alien novels were. Good cover art and not much else, really. Thankfully, this book stands apart as definitely the best Predator novel since "Cold War" came out a number of years ago. The story is set in a national park and revolves around a park ranger, some poachers and of course a couple of unfriendly ugly muthas. It may take awhile to get going, but "Turnabout" creates a great sense of suspense as more and more mysteries crop up around the park and the poachers' trip turns sour. Steve Perry always manages to create interesting characters and that's one of this book's strengths. Even if you don't neccessarily like them, you still wanna find out what's gonna happen to them.

Anyway, I thouroughly enjoyed reading "Predator: Turnabout" and hope Perry takes another crack at Predator writing sometime because he's definitely got a knack for it.
