A Pleistocene Hunter

When David Falkayn realized the potential of the planet Satan:

"Sheer instinct roused him. He was abruptly a Pleistocene hunter again.
"'Judas!' he yelled. 'Yes!'" (p. 358) (For full reference, see here.)

I quoted this passage at greater length before. See The Realization About Satan. Now I want to connect it with two similar passages about Dominic Flandry (see Our Animal Ancestry and A Moment Of Truth?) and also with some comparable passages in Poul Anderson's Time Patrol series (see Subjectivity and The Presence Of Innocence).

Falkayn, Flandry and Everard are high tech hunters.

    Kaor, Paul!

    And it was intelligent beings Falkayn, Flandry, and Everard hunted. Far more dangerous than simple animals!
