I published this post several months ago and I am getting ready to re-read this book. Yeah – I like it that much. So I thought I’d remind everyone about it. If you are looking for an adventure-filled story this is a good one. I highly recommend the audio version as well.
Many are not aware that the Rambo 5 originally had quite a different story. There was a storyline based on the book Hunter. Now, this would have been interesting.
Stallone bought the movie rights to the book years ago and rumor has it he was contemplating working it into a Rambo movie. From my understanding, Rambo was living up in the mountains(somewhere) and a creature escapes from a secret underground military research station. Rambo has to battle the creature to save the locals from being slaughtered and eaten.
Think about it – – > Kind of a Rambo versus Predator deal.
So, I’m reading Hunter right now via Audible, and it’s very good. Action-packed and an excellent story. Stallone announced a few months ago he is going to make a movie based on the book and I am sure it will be great.
Check it out……

Just added the book to my list.
I read awhile back that the next “Expendables’ flick was originally being considered as a Them VS Predator film, to change up the franchise.
I guess they chose Megan Fox over The Predator.
I have a copy of Hunter in my very large “to be read” stack of books. I’m sure I bought it after reading your previous post about it, and now I’m reminded of how excellent a story it sounds. I’ll post after I read it.
