Hunter is a 1989 novel written by William Luther Pierce, a neo-Nazi and the founder of the National Alliance, a white nationalist group, under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald.

Some consider Hunter a prequel to The Turner Diaries, detailing the rise of the racist paramilitary group termed "the Organization", which would play a dominant role in the book.

Hunter portrays the actions of Oscar Yeager, a Vietnam veteran and Defense Department consultant who embarks on a plan to assassinate interracial couples and public figures who advocate civil rights in the D.C. area.

Yeager's crimes quickly lead to broad national repercussions and draw him into the plans of both a white nationalist group and an ambitious FBI official eager to take advantage of the turmoil he has helped to start.

The protagonist is Oscar Yeager (an anglicization of Jäger, German for hunter), a Vietnam veteran F-4 Phantom pilot and Washington, D.C.-area Defense Department consultant.

[1] His campaign escalates to more sophisticated methods against higher-profile targets, including prominent journalists and politicians whom Yeager sees as promoting racial mixing.

After several successful and increasingly ambitious attacks, Yeager is found and confronted by a senior agent of the FBI, William Ryan, who himself is disgusted with Jewish control of the agency and the American social situation.

Ryan blackmails Yeager into assisting him with his career by assassinating several Jewish FBI agents and targeting Mossad agents in the United States so that Ryan can be appointed as the head of a newly formed anti-terrorist secret police agency, assume increasing control of the United States, and use his power to challenge and remove Jewish control of the government and media.

At this point, Yeager is caught between the intentions of Ryan, who intends to consolidate his own power and control over the government so as to reform the system from the top down after suppressing upcoming black nationalist riots, and the National League who wishes to stir up the chaos even further, draw white Americans into battle, and eventually overthrow the government.

[3] In contrast to The Turner Diaries, Pierce decided to write a "more realistic" novel which "shifted away from the idea of an organized group, to what an exceptional individual can do."

[12][13] Later editions of the book are dedicated to Joseph Paul Franklin who, the notice calls, "the Lone Hunter, who saw his duty as a White man and did what a responsible son of his race must do.

[3] J. M. Berger writing for the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism said of the work that "the book’s crude style and violent content clearly mirror the approach taken in Turner.
