Quick recap

On the planet Ryushi, Chigusa Corporation colonists prepare a livestock shipment, unaware the world is a Predator hunting ground. An alien queen hides eggs in the herd, and a band of young Predators on an initiation hunt turns on the humans when their leader, Broken Tusk, is wounded. Administrator Machiko Noguchi allies with the recovered hunter, and the survivors crash their ship into the planet to wipe out the alien colony. Broken Tusk dies but marks Machiko with his clan's symbol, and she joins the Predators' hunts. In War, tired of that life, she turns against them. In Eternal, an old man uses Predator body parts to extend his life. The volume ends with that new hunt spiraling out of control.
