Description
The rich Earthman is hunting the aboriginal Martian to bring back his skin for stuffing. The human has technology; the Owlie is in symbiotic contact with every plant and animal in the desert. Tightly plotted, tense, with both the hunter and the prey well-drawn characters. Good descriptions of the desert and skies.
