Man’s Best Enemy
by Janice Hardy
The world changed when the protected became the prey. Shawna always wanted to be a Hunter, scouring the ruins of Atlanta for the supplies to keep her block—and her people—alive for another year. But a stupid, “one Hunter per family” rule keeps her sidelined while her brother lives *her* dream. When a Hunter falls and no one else is brave enough to take his place, she gets a chance to prove herself. She quickly realizes facing the mutant dogs that have claimed the city isn’t a game. And maybe being the Doc’s apprentice isn’t so bad after all.
