At times humorous, at other times serious, this endearing collection of short fiction explores many concepts regarding fantastical or futuristic safaris. Detailing the many contrasting pitfalls of hunting, a hardboiled detective attempts to locate a unicorn in New York City on New Yearâs Day, and in a later tale, must track down a millennia-old vampire in order to save his assistant. In the Nebula-nominated story ÂHunting the Snark,â a classical big-game hunt on a newly discovered planet develops similarities to Lewis Carrollâs famous poem, yet ends with a surprising twist. In ÂThe Soul Eaterâ and ÂNicobar LaneÂThe Soul Eaterâs Story,â separate views are offered from the hunter and the hunted in an eccentric love story that incorporates elements of Moby Dick and the legend of the Flying Dutchman. Offering a few somber features, ÂSafari 2103 ADâ looks at a world where the number of wild animals can be counted on oneâs fingers, while in ÂBwana,â colonists leave industrialized Africa to create a paradise on a new world, only to discover how fragile they are. Imaginative and captivating, each narrative offers a unique spin on what it means to be a hunter.
