title: Orion the Hunter: The Spiral Arm Stories Season One
author: Clifford E VanMeter
description: I love futuristic science fiction. I like action-oriented tales that take place within a well thought out and detailed future. <b>That is one reason I loved Orion The Hunter: The Spiral Arm Stories Season One by Clifford VanMeter. </b>The action and the future that the story takes place in are so detailed that it&apos;s not difficult to imagine yourself there, or imagine the situation that the characters find themselves in. I read somewhere that Gene Roddenberry imagined Star Trek as a kind of wagon train to the stars. I see Orion The Hunter as a kind of gritty bounty hunter to the stars. The playing field is larger, but many of the elements involved are the same. Orion is a survivor. Orion is an alpha male who has had a hard life. But instead of this making him cruel, it has caused him to have a keen appreciation for justice. It has made him something of a champion of the downtrodden. -- <i>Reviewed By Ray Simmons for Readers&apos; Favorite</i>
