This is a really well written and captivating short story. I just wish it wasn't so short! I read it while I was waiting for my car to be worked on and within those few pages, I was really drawn in by the characters and world Wil has created and I was really sad to see it end! I sat there with questions! What happens next?? What happens next??
I recommend this quick read to all scifi fans. :) I really hope to see a companion piece written if he never decides to expand this particular story into a full length novel. Thanks for sharing, Wil! I look forward to more from you. :)

I would have rated this higher but the story was too short. It captured my interest and then was over before it went anywhere.

This is a good move on the part of Wil Wheaton. I never would have committed to reading an entire novel just because he -- a sci-fi actor and geek personality -- wrote it. But a short story on a pay-what-you-want scale, that is different. Because I definitely can, and did, take 15 minutes to check out Hunter, which teases the reader with the existence of an interesting, untapped science-fiction world. And I liked it -- there wasn't enough to love -- but it left me wanting more, and I'm hoping this will one day be a prologue to a full-length sci-fi novel, which now, after sampling the goods, I would look forward to reading.

I like this.
It’s a very quick read in a universe I hope Wheaton explores more. Bringing justice or karma to those folks who need it always makes for an interesting read. This method of justice is intriguing.

I like to think of this story as an amuse-bouche. There's just enough there that, if your tastes so run, your mouth is watering for more. It's a little short in world context, for my taste, and the climax scene feels like it stretches a touch long, but it's definitely enough to make me interested in the 'verse.
