DOUGLAS HUNTER
Want to try something totally new? Experience a world that, with a little help from the written word, you build in your imagination? And see that world through the eyes and minds of a gang of tough youngsters from the hills? If so, well, you've come to the right place.
Read on ...
Goat-herding kids versus aliens ... and adults ... and even more aliens!
​
Their low-tech weapons versus unbelievable science from across the galaxy ...
​
Can they win simply because they don't know how to lose and because they never give in?
FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF!
The First in a Series
​​The Book of Jack is the first book in a series that follows the turbulent, swashbuckling life of a boy named Jack. It is set on another world much like ours but more rugged and ancient and highly influenced by off-world technology.
It is a story of high adventure that begins with Jack and his goat-herding friends being thrust into startling events starting with the horrific destruction of their mountain village. The skills and courage and camaraderie that enabled them to survive in the hills are readily applied to harrowing situations that would have defeated most adults.
Their lives become inextricably entwined with those of fugitive aliens and their pursuers and Jack disturbingly finds he may have a deep connection to those pursuers. Jack impetuously manages to steal a flying machine, opening the way to many more unimaginable, magnificent adventures.

About
My name is Doug and boy, do I ever have some stories to share with you!
For decades I've been telling myself I need to write down some of those best (and worst) moments I have experienced, mostly because (as is the case for all of us!) there are some great stories in there.
When I finally started, I found that with only a pound or two of embellishment, and with the help of a setting that continues to build itself, and by letting the characters pick and choose their own adventures, the stories have come to life -- and won't stop!
​
I sincerely hope you have as much if not more fun reading The Book of Jack and the books that will follow (Dragonfly, Broken Tooth, and Knucklebone) are all in the works) as I have had writing them!
​
I look forward to your comments and questions, and if you like, will keep you updated with news and new story insights as they happen!
