Book of the Day: The Tiger by John Vaillant by D - Tuesday, May 10, 2011 at 3:16pm Book of the Day: The Tiger by John Vaillant. In December 1997 a maneating tiger is on the prowl outside a remote village in Russia's Far East. The tiger isn't just killing people, it's annihilating them, and a team of men and their dogs must hunt it on foot through forest in brutal cold. To their astonishment they discover that the attacks are not random: the tiger is engaged in a vendetta. In his re-creation of the extraordinary events of that winter, Vaillant gives an unforgettable portrait of the spectacularly beautiful region of forests and mountains where the once great Siberian Tiger now struggles to survive.
