On Grafton II, only eight million people live on the planet so there is plenty of space for the populace to settle. It is a unique world because the inhabitants have very fast reflexes making them excellent bounty hunters, hired guns and mercenaries. Three hundred Grafonites encouraged by Mo Quandry invade Grofton IV and conquer the 80 million people. The alliance is worried that the people of Grafton II will invade one of their planets and sends their top operative to investigate.
Clifford Croft arrives on the planet with the telekinetic Clapper and the sociologist Tane, who has studied the libertarian culture of Grafton II. When he arrives on the planet, Clifford discovers Mo Quandry has a tape of five non Graftonites killing a citizen of Grafton II because he didn't want to pay the full amount for services rendered. Grafton II invades an Alliance planet and Clifford finds that Mo Quandry is trying to organize the Graftonites to invade other planets. Clifford has to find a way to stop him without getting killed and figure out what the man's ultimate goal is.
ATTACK OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS is a fantastic work of science fiction. Steven Gordon proves he is a great world-builder with a vivid imagination by creating a unique orb populated by special people free of any dangling alliances. There is plenty of action in this work but the author doesn't shortchange the audience on character development. The Clapper and Red Sally, a psi arsonist, offer comic relief from a tension-filled thriller. The author has written many books starring Croft and Admiral North and anyone who reads this tale will seek his other works out.
Harriet Klausner
I've read Harriet's review, and have come to the conclusion that one of two things is true:
1) Harriet is actually author Steven Gordon, plugging his book.
2) Harriet is a heavy, heavy drug user.
This is the worst book I've ever attempted to read. Horrible writing, stupid plot - possibly if written better could be interpreted as a parody, except it's not funny, just stupid. I read widely, and read fast enough I'm not quickly bored, and I rarely fail to finish a book. However, I had to come up for air after reading 20 pages of this dreck. Don't waste your time.
