Okay, I finally read it, thanks to upload from
@Retropocalypse, so thank You for that. I had to force myself a little to read it in digital form, because I can't stand not having physical book in my hands, but it was only way for me to read this, so be it. I enjoyed it a lot, though I wouldn't rate it 10/10. It got its problems. More weird Elements didn't click for me, all those descriptions of past Predator's hunts, they were just too outlandish and fantasy-like for a Predator lore in my opinion. Also what's the point of bacteria Turning Nikolai into living dust? I dig the idea of Predator bringing some extraterrestial disease from space, but again, it became just to weird for a Predator story for my taste, and it wasn't even necessary or important for the plot or anything. Maybe that's the reason why whole Temple battle, though interesting, was dragging on a little. Also Maxime overstayed his welcome, he was just doing nothing in the last Third of the book. But those problems aside, rest of the novel is great. I love the idea of placing the action on illeagl hunting resort on island. It was perfect setting for Predator's hunt. I love how so many characters with distinct personalities and goals were put in it and how their arcs are converged with each other towards the end. And finally I love the Predator in this. He's Seasoned hunter with a lot of advanced gear and Experience. Also he is a total bastard with his mind games and pshyhological warfare. Overall great read, I'm glad i read it, especially that there is too little Predator novels on the market right now. Titan should Fix it, especially when they seem to lost some steam with Aliens books.
