"Hunt the Hunter" by Kris Neville is a science fiction story written in the early 1950s. This narrative revolves around the theme of the human condition when faced with the unknown aspects of alien life and the darker sides of human ambition. The story is set in a distant future where hunting alien creatures is a sport for the wealthy and powerful, showcasing the hubris of mankind as they traverse moral boundaries in search of excitement. The plot centers on a man named Extrone, a wealthy hunter seeking the thrill of capturing a dangerous alien creature known as the farn beast. He employs two local guides, Ri and Mia, who are entangled in a web of fear and powerlessness against Extrone's sadistic whims. As they navigate dense forests, tensions rise when Extrone decides that Ri should serve as bait to attract the farn beast, revealing his ruthless nature. Throughout the story, the characters grapple with issues of survival, morality, and the consequences of exploiting both nature and fellow beings for sport and entertainment. As the climax unfolds, the narrative poses unsettling questions about the nature of humanity and the true cost of hunting—both literally and metaphorically.
