Description On leave, and out of his head with boredom, NZDF Sergeant Taine Mc Kenna joins biologist Jules Asher, on a Conservation Department deer culling expedition to New Zealand\'s southernmost national park, where soaring peaks give way to valleys gouged from clay and rock, and icy rivers bleed Into watery canyons too deep to fathom.
When the waters clear, will anyone be allowed to leave? "Murray pretty much nails small unit tactics." Justin Coates, author of The Apocalypse Drive "A fantastic blend of military fiction, a very real primordial monster, and powerful mythology." Paul Mannering, author of Hard Corps, Hell\'s Teeth, and Eat..

But a band of mercenaries saw them first, and, hell-bent on exploiting the tribes\' survivors, they\'re prepared to kill anyone who gets in their way.
Despite covering an area the size of the Serengeti, only eighteen people live in the isolated region, so it\'s a surprise when the hunters stumble on the nation\'s Turehu tribe, becoming some of only a handful to ever encounter the elusive ghost people.
