N2  - "We Run From the Hunted!" by Darius John Granger is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. Set on Venus, the story follows two struggling hunters, Gil Roberts and Harry Conger, who operate a hunting camp named "Venus on the Half Shell." The book explores themes of survival and identity against the backdrop of an alien world filled with both exotic wildlife and mysterious dangers.  The narrative begins with Gil and Harry facing financial difficulties, having yet to attract a single customer to their camp. Their fortunes shift when a wealthy sportsman, Jason Woods Stevenson, arrives, eager to hunt a legendary creature known as the Wompan. As they embark on a hunting expedition, they confront the reality that the Wompan can mimic other beings, leading to confusion and chaos. In a twist of fate, Gil is forced to confront the deadly truth behind the Wompan when it assumes the form of Stevenson and later his daughter, Ginger. The story culminates in a tense struggle for survival that forces both men to grapple with their misconceptions about hunting and the very nature of the creatures they pursue. Ultimately, they must reconcile their ambitions with the harsh realities of their circumstances on the alien planet. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
