When British climber David Fletcher set off to explore the remote Hayes group of mountains in Alaska he was warned about soloing so far from rescue.Never could he have imagined that he was about to enter into a battle as fierce as Captain Ahab's with the great whale.But this is real life,not fiction,and Fletcher's adversary is the most feared creature in the Alaskan wilderness,a grizzly - a 10-foot high,1,200lb,furious mother bear whose cub he has accidentally killed in a moment of panic.Appalled at his own mistake and full of sorrow for the bear,Fletcher tries desperately to escape,but after a nightmare journey of relentless pursuit he eventually has to accept that unless he can kill her,she will certainly destroy him. 'Hunted' is the true story of how the vengeful bear,each of her paws as wide as a man's chest and with claws five inches long, stalks her human quarry day and night over the rugged Alaskan terrain.She cuts him off from his food supply.She nearly corners him time and time again,once so close her claws rake his climbing boots as he hangs from a rope inches above her reach,once trapping him in a crevasse which threatens to collapse in on him under her shifting weight as she strives to hook him out.The two become partners in a deadly game,sharing a strange intimacy. Against a backdrop of one of the last great wildernesses where beauty and danger go hand in hand,seldom has the remorseless contest between man and beast been so vividly portrayed.

First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. First impression. 423 pages. Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. No foxing in this copy. Dust Jacket is in very good condition, without tears or chips or other damage. Library stamps etc only on endpapers, half-title page.. This book is available and ready to be shipped.. This collection of 29 stories, Bond's second Arkham collection after Nightmares and Daydreams (1968), stands as a sparkling tribute to one of the greats, now 93 years old, of SF and fantasy. Bond says that he prefers the latter, because "fantasy is tongue-in-cheek, but there's nothing funny about hardware!" Humor, not surprisingly, is the keynote of these tales, which are divided into five thematic sections, each with a brief introduction by the author (one wishes these intros were longer). The section entitled "Family Circle" features Bond's favorite series characters: Lancelot Biggs, Pat Pending, Squaredeal Sam McGhee and the incomparable Lobblies (two invisible creatures who accompany Henry Mergenthwirker and correctly predict the future with unpredictable results). Nearly all the stories date from the WWII era, and since Bond has chosen not to do any rewriting, the book, like one of his typical time-travel yarns, serves as a nostalgic trip to the past.
