Fire Hunter

Jim Kjelgaard (author of the famous Big Red and Irish Red) originally published the young-adult novel Fire-Hunter, the stone-age story of Hawk after he is expelled from his tribe, in 1951. In 1991 it was republished, with the blessing of his estate, in an expanded edition entitled The Hunter Returns, with new material written by David Drake. Frank X. Harris claims to be the author of Fire-Hunter, but "his" book is blatantly stolen from the Kjelgaard original. Harris has simply rewritten Kjelgaard's original (and poorly rewritten at that), retaining many of the same incidents and character names throughout. Here is just one example: JK : Cave-dwelling bears were monstrous things, even more savage than the saber-tooth tigers. FXH: Cave bears were very dangerous: More dangerous than the terrible saber tooth tigers because bears were smarter. No site should continue to sell Harris's obvious theft of the original author's work, nor describe Fire Hunter as being authored by Frank X. Harris.
