Kanvara Kom, jakta en jordnär "av Philip E. High.
Från en granskning , en kort sammanfattning:
In the near future an alien species has established a beach-head on Earth, not as a prelude to invasion, but for gaming purposes. Earth becomes a popular spot for a big-game hunt and, as mankind treats the gaming parties as invasion and fights back with vigour and imagination, a human becomes a prized trophy among the decadent hunting races of the Galaxy.
En annan översyn beskriver den främsta huvudpersonen i berättelsen :
In charge of the aliens are the Hunt Masters who ensure that the hunt rules are followed. The story is told from the point of view of one of the Hunt Masters, through him the reader soon realises that there is more to this particular alien than first thought.
He influences certain humans and though he does not give them the means to fight back, he encourages the resistance of the human race against the hunters.

Walsh (confused): "Now I follow you even less."
The Hunt Master: "The body of the universe suffered an onslaught, a mass onslaught. Refer it, if it helps, to your own body. This was a virus invasion. You have had a brief feverish cold which your normal defenses have just overcome."
