'Luke could almost count the pig's strides as it closed in ... His father lay frantic in the dust, scarcely able to raise his head ... The pig would kill him.'Like father, like son. Luke's dad is a hunter, a rifleman, a hard man, everything Luke wants to be. So when he's invited to join his father on a forbidden hunting trip, Luke eagerly accepts.Guns, killing, danger, adventure. It's a boy's dream come true. But adventures don't always go as planned, and targets aren't always what you expect them to be.
