          Once they were heroes. These men died as heroes in battle. Now they have been reincarnated as the fearsome vanguard of the Dome Elite. They are the Battle Borgs of Dome
          Two boys as different as any two boys might be. They face the same enemy, the same danger, the same fear - dare they trust each other? 

REVIEW:
          In the second book of the Guy Erma series, the events are just as fast paced, as racy as the first one, Kidnap.
          The kidnapped prince Teodor is being held inside the city itself, and his mother, the Regent Sayginn suffers between political drama, a mother’s need to protect her only remaining son and a manipulative emperor who wishes to marry her to produce his heir. Amidst all this chaos, she sees Karl Valvanchi as the sole ray of light that could save her son from captivity. In between this high profile drama, Guy Erma finds himself chasing after the ever eluding dream of being a part of the Dome Elite. The tense political situation apart, Guy knows he has to do anything that the Dome Boss says if he is to have a chance of fulfilling his dream.
          The summary does much justice to the book’s story as much as the book’s story adheres to it. The story continues right from where the first book left off and is every bit as intriguing. In depth looks into everyone’s perspective is an added bonus. Each character has been given enough space in the story. The language (thanks to the glossary) is easy enough to understand the storyline. The last chapter of the book is the most interesting, with the face off between Guy Erma and Prince Teodor fit to be a movie scene.
          Hunter, even if it doesn’t answer many questions about the series and poses much more questions that would hopefully be answered in the next part. An overall enjoyable experience, Hunter is one book that you will be able to appreciate after if you read the series in the proper sequence.
          Again, much like the previous time, this book also sends with a cliff hanger – albeit a bit hopeful one. I just had to mention this here.
