The Prey Series Free Sampler by John Sandford



I picked this free sampler up at Barnes and Noble today. It includes a couple chapter from the two most recent Lucas Davenport novels: Hidden Prey, coming out in paperback, and Broken Prey, out in hardcover next month. In the latter it looks like Davenport is hunting a psycho killer choosing victims at random. Should be good break from all the conspiracy-type storylines Davenport has been involved in recently.

I remember reading a while ago that Eriq LaSalle was going to be starring in a movie based on Mind Prey, with an eye on adapting more of Sandford's novels. Casting a black actor caught me a little off guard, simply because racial tensions are an important element in many of the Davenport novels, particularly Shadow Prey, and Lucas being black would make many of the novels require major revamps to work on screen to say the least. Plus, I always envision another E.R. alum as Davenport, namely George Clooney.

In any case it all came to nothing because the movie never came out. Or did it?

Today I visited John Sandford's official site and found out that Mind Prey did come out, though it doesn't sound like it aired very widely. Huh. I'll have to see if I can find it.
