The Foragers
"...Nader holds no punches in this thrilling tale set in the merciless forests of Japan. Witness battle royale with a twist as she expertly weaves flawed-yet-likeable characters in a game where everybody's fighting for something, and nobody's letting up."--Brandon Young, Creator of Planet Bastard.
A group of contestants are multi-tasked to compete for the honor of becoming the Ultimate Forager. In order to pass the initial round, they must secure one of three registration badges, their own, their predator’s or their prey’s. Among the contestants, two assassin clans seek recruits to win their battle for power over S.S.O. A former government agent, a boy looking for his father, an assassin, and an orphan are enemies on the path to becoming an unlikely family.

Kuma hunters gathered about a hundred people who wanted to join the Foragers Contest in the Shirakami-Sanchi Forest and at stake is one million dollars. To successfully complete the initial round, within 60 hours, one must take possession of one registration badge – it could be the owner’s or his predator or his prey. In order to survive, they must use whatever was inside the kit that was handed to them.
It was survival of the fittest, and only one was expected to emerge the Ultimate Forager. All were eager to participate, but little did they know that their lives was really the one at stake, and that they were connected to each other’s lives, even more than they could have ever imagined. Because ultimately, this contest was more of a recruit mission for competing assassin clans and the truth was, no one was getting out alive.
The Foragers is an exciting story of survival of not only the fittest but also the most cunning and smartest. It did remind me of Battle Royale and Hunger Games series, but in entirely different setting. It was a battle against time and circumstances, in a forest where wild animals roam and snakes thrive and crawl to their preys and strike without any reason. Others might say that this was a little too violent or brutal for this taste, but for me,
At first, I was a little confused over the mass of Japanese character names, but as I perused the pages, I started getting to know the backdrop and an insight into a few of their personalities. Fisher was one of the few I’ve come to like; he was seeking for his father who had gone missing in the same contest a few years ago. The last surviving members of an Italian family, brother-and-sister tandem, Celio and Eli broke my heart with their love for each other. And Maya, the ponytailed girl who, in my opinion, was the real heroine in this book.
The Foragers actually got me raging in the end with everything that has happened. It was all too horrific, exciting, mind blowing and heartbreaking. Katherine Nader was able to give me all the feels, and I was clamoring for more as I got to the last page. This was indeed an intense read, probably as intense as what I’ve felt when I read Battle Royale a few years ago. This was a really great book to start the New Year!

A fast paced adventure
A unique fusion of the hunger games meets battle royal in this gory, faced paced adventure set in Japan. The author does a brilliant job setting the scene as we are introduced to each contestant playing a deadly game of survival in the vast expanses of a forest. I read it over a few days and was hooked, I would recommend to lovers of this genre. :)
