Project U.L.F.

Project U.L.F is the debut novel from Science – Fiction author Stuart Clark. A Science – Fiction drama, it is the story of one man's betrayal and his struggle to unite an unlikely band of characters and ensure their safe return home.

Wyatt Dorren is an ex-con. Imprisoned for a crime of passion, Wyatt has managed to turn his life around thanks to the state prison rehabilitation programme. Initially placed at Chicago's Interplanetary Zoological Park (IZP), Wyatt was employed as a trapper, travelling to known star systems to capture alien life forms for exhibition at the zoo. Today, he has reached the levels of middle management and heads Project ULF (Unidentified Life Form), a department of highly skilled personnel who travel to newly discovered planets to capture new and previously unknown forms of life.

Wyatt's unexpected success poses a threat to Douglas Mannheim, a conniving, underhanded man who has blackmailed his way to the position of Managing Director of the IZP. Mannheim recognises the danger that Wyatt represents and, based on information supplied to him, plots to send Wyatt and a rag-tag team of trappers on a bogus mission to a remote, uncharted planet from which he knows no-one has returned, thereby eliminating his latest challenger.

Unknown to Mannheim, a University graduate, Kate Frere, is assigned to Wyatt's crew, since on paper the expedition has been arranged to look like a routine assignment.  Both Wyatt and Kate are blissfully ignorant of their predicament but because they have different expectations from the expedition they rarely see eye-to-eye. It is this conflict and Kate's naiveté that will ultimately expose the awful truth of what has befallen them.

Now, with a stricken ship, faulty equipment, inexperienced crew members and a rogue element to deal with,Wyatt must unite his team of men and women and find a way to get back home.

There is of course one other problem. They are no longer the hunters but the hunted.
