In this companion short-story to Matt Archer: Monster Hunter, fifteen-year-old Matt Archer finds himself in the Australian Outback on the trail of his latest targets...and hunting hyper-intelligent, mutated Dingoes is not his idea of a great summer vacation. Making things more complicated, Matt's Uncle Mike—aka Major Tannen—is his C.O. for this mission. To Matt's consternation, the major's new fiancée, Captain Julie Hunter, is also along for the trip. When Captain Hunter disappears during a routine scouting trip, it's up to Matt to help his uncle find her before it's too late.
