For the Hunters, the Hunt was a religion. The Sacred Prey, sentient beings collected from all over the galaxy, were literally given a fighting chance--they were allowed to choose weapons from an armory with every imaginable weapon and given time to train. Then they were taken to the place of the Hunt, where death awaited them. Those who survived until the eclipse of the red moon, however, were honored by the Hunters and rewarded with all the wealth they could desire.

Aliens kidnap individuals from various sentient species of different worlds to serve as challenging prey for their hunt--including in this book Dane of Earth. Think of a cross between an abducted by aliens fic and "The Most Dangerous Game." Or a pulp fiction Survivors including a bipedal saurian and feline. Only 176 pages, this is a fast-paced, adventure filled story, which no one will mistake for great literature. I don't think it's as good as the better of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover books, but Hunters of the Red Moon is a fast and fun read. There's an equally diverting sequel, The Survivors.( )

Grateful thanks and acknowledgements are due to PAUL EDWIN ZIMMER Marshal and Weapons Consultant of the Society for Creative Anachronism who kindly supplied me with information about the nature and use of all the weapons used in the Hunt, and provided continuity for all the fighting scenes. However, the reader is urgently requested not to blame him for any feckless mistakes which I may have made in using the material which he supplied. Whatever is good or accurate in what I say of weapons is my good brother's; whatever is wrong or misinformed is my own. - M.Z.B.

Paul Edwin Zimmer (Marion Zimmer Bradley's brother) was initially an uncredited co-author. Later editions of the book add him as a co-author; they are the same work. According to Bradley's comments in GREYHAVEN, Zimmer wrote approximately a third of the manuscript, particularly the fight scenes.
