Editorial Review:

Product Description:
David Fletcher knew better, but he had acted in a moment of panic and with his ice hammer had killed the young cub. A veteran mountaineer at the outset of a solo climb up Alaska’s Mount Hess, Fletcher realized that he took every next step in mortal danger, for the fiercely protective mothers of bear cubs never stray far from their young. And just the day before, he’d been warned never to underestimate the grizzly, because “they are mean, they are natural killers, and above all, they can think.” In this incredible true-life adventure Fletcher recounts with breathtaking immediacy not only his exhausting and exhilarating conquest of Mount Hess but also his battle with the giant grizzly bear—ten feet tall and weighing three tons, with paws wider than a strong man’s chest—that stalked, hunted, frequently outwitted, and, finally, on his descent, furiously attacked him. The hazards of the rugged Alaskan terrain, serial avalanches, and blinding polar snow storms pale in comparison to Fletcher’s elemental struggle with this vengeful grizzly. She cuts him off from his food supply. She repeatedly corners him. On one occasion, the long talons of her mammoth paws rake his climbing boots as he hangs from a rope only inches out of her reach. And continually she taunts him with a strange intimacy in a deadly game that they play out in ice tunnels, on glacial lakes, and in precipitous crevasses. Hunted is a book that takes you there—into the awesomely beautiful and perilous heart of the Alaskan interior—as David Fletcher unfolds the gripping, suspenseful tale that, remarkably, he has lived to tell.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Ridiculous
I couldn't even read all of this book it was so ridiculous. I got about 50 pages into it and began to feel I was wasting my time with this "true" story. I skimmed through to the end just to see what would happen. From all the books I have ever read about bears, this would have to be one amazing bear to behave as it did. I wasn't aware that bears carry personal vendettas!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - True or not, a good story....
While I do have doubts about the veracity of the story, I still liked the narrative. I think it could be true...but even if it isn't I enjoyed to book...and that is all that matters for me...so I would recommend it for anyone who likes adventure writing.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - What a story!
Very interesting story, but what poor writing skills. So, if you don't mind poor grammar this book sure is an interesting read.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good thriller, but hard to believe
I don't know very much about bears or bear behavior, but fortunately I do have enough common sense (and it doesn't take much) to realize this guy is fudging on his "true story of survival." It was still a good suspense book though.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - this book is not only ficticious; it's very bad fiction
First of all, the narrative is clumsy, but that can be excused in this sort of book. The larger problem is that the story is entirely unbelievable. My advice to Mr. Fletcher would be to do a little research before his next attempt to portray the figments of his imagination as non-fiction. Anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of bear behavior and biology will quickly recognize that this story is completely inplausible. My personal favorite was the account of the bear charging forward on its hind ... Read More
