Every hunter has a story of an expedition gone wrong. Every person who has held a gun has imagined what it would be like to point that barrel at another human being. Some decisions come down to survival. Other decisions are made for us. They’re implanted into a person’s brain from somewhere out there, in the unknown.
Marie never intended to bring along her passengers. She would have never agreed to it, had she known what would happen. Now she’s lost and her only help will come from the hunters ... and the Spores.
The four men are out on a simple hunting trip. It’s supposed to be a chance to unwind and get away from all the stress of work and family. But when Andrew looks through the scope and sees what’s running at him, he acts decisively. Back at the cabin, Leonard and Patrice have their own problem. They hear the sound of the snowmobile and rush to the window. They look out in time to see the machine streaking across the lake, and then it’s gone.
They have to cut short their trip and report what they’ve seen. Everyone agrees. Then, Marie arrives. Views: 409

Thomas Berger’s modern hero Carlo Reinhart is thrust into the strangest chapter of his life yet
Carlo Reinhart’s life has taken many turns. From his idealistic youth in Crazy in Berlin, to his entrance into adulthood in Reinhart in Love, through his uneasy tumble into middle age in Vital Parts, Reinhart has never lost his philosophical and even-minded disposition.
Reinhart’s Women finds Reinhart divorced and living with his daughter, Winona, a successful model. His newest hobby is cooking, and he has become surprisingly accomplished for an amateur. But when he asks a woman over for a homemade lunch, Reinhart’s idyll is shattered. Adventures and misadventures conspire to put his nascent cooking skills to the test—and turn him into a postmodern celebrity. With Reinhart, Berger has created one of the great comic characters of the twentieth century—a man who beautifully represents, and parodies, his moment.

matters of the heart are to be avoided. But when an old poker buddy asks him to
help frazzled and distraught Kay Runyon, whose husband, Victor, is having a

all, it seems like a simple matter: Find out just who Nedra is so Kay can

the victim of one of her lovers' private demons? Nameless must find out before
it's too late to save Victor and Kay from tragic ends. And he do so while trying
to cope with a very personal and private demon of his own.
