Summary "World of the Hunter" by C. H. Thames is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century, specifically the 1950s. The book centers around the themes of big-game hunting and survival in a dystopian future where Earth has become a game-preserve for wealthy extraterrestrial hunters. The narrative explores the relationship between humans and aliens as well as humanity's struggle for identity in a universe dominated by more advanced civilizations. The story follows Gilbert, a young guide who takes Sirian hunter Mulveen on a safari across Earth’s treacherous landscapes, where Mulveen seeks the ultimate thrill in hunting. However, when Mulveen proposes the ultimate challenge of hunting Gilbert himself, the dynamics shift dramatically. As Gilbert fights for his life, he discovers that he is not only fighting a physical battle with Mulveen, but also a symbolic struggle for the rights and dignity of Earthmen against arrogant outworlders. He allies with Wenzi, a girl from the camp, and together they navigate treacherous swamps while devising a plan for survival. The climax builds to a confrontation that tests both Gilbert's physical endurance and his moral ideals, ultimately leading him to reclaim his sense of identity.
