James Byron Huggins’ THE LAST HUNT (the third in the Hunter trilogy) is a hit!\u00a0 It currently has a 4.5 \/ 5 star rating at Amazon<\/em>.\u00a0 Its Goodreads<\/em> rating is even better – 4.65 \/ 5 stars.<\/p>\n

Perhaps even more impressive is that THE LAST HUNT sits in Goodreads’ Listopia<\/em> #1 spot on the list of Best Action & Thrillers Ever.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Huggins is in the company of legends (Child, Clancey, Lundlum and Evanovich) and leads the pack! (See chart below.)<\/p>\n

Long time readers of this site know that James Byron Huggins wrote HUNTER with Sylvester Stallone in mind as the lead character.\u00a0 In fact Sly discussed ideas with Byron prior to the novel being written and the second edition is dedicated to Sylvester Stallone.<\/p>\n

Sly Stallone has held the movie rights to HUNTER since the start.\u00a0 A couple of times it appeared that the movie adaptation of Hunter<\/em> would be soon on Sly’s agenda.\u00a0 But the movie business proceeds in mysterious ways, and HUNTER has yet to reach the production stage.\u00a0 Sly’s Balboa Productions still has the rights and hopefully fans will get to HUNTER as a feature film or television series.<\/p>\n
