The novel is set in the year 2265, in a future where humanity has colonized the stars. The protagonist of the novel is Sergeant Joe Haldeman, a member of the elite Hammer's Slammers armored brigade. Haldeman is a veteran of many battles, and he is known for his courage and his skill as a tank commander.
The novel begins with Haldeman and his crew being assigned to a new mission. They are to escort a convoy of supplies to a remote mining colony. However, the convoy is attacked by a group of pirates, and Haldeman and his crew are forced to fight for their lives.
The Hunter Returns is a gripping and realistic depiction of the horrors of war. Drake does not shy away from the violence and brutality of combat, and he paints a vivid picture of the physical and psychological toll that war takes on its participants.
In addition to its action-packed plot, The Hunter Returns also explores the themes of loyalty, duty, and honor. Haldeman is a complex and flawed character, but he is ultimately a good man who is willing to sacrifice himself for his comrades.
The Hunter Returns is a must-read for fans of military science fiction. It is a well-written and thought-provoking novel that will stay with you long after you finish it.
