Synopsis














Cat might have looked more like a one-eyed boulder but that was where the resemblance ended.  Cat could read thoughts as well as most human telepaths, knew how to use a teleport booth and as a shapeshifter he was in a class of his own.  After being cooped up in the zoo for fifty years he was mean as well.

So when they asked the old Navajo tracker Billy Singer to eliminate an alien assassin, Billy knew at once whom he ought to subcontract the job to.  After all, he was the one who'd captured Cat in the first place.

But Cat had his price.  Sure, he'd help Billy.  All he wanted was to get out of the zoo.  But once he'd done what was asked of him, Billy had better start running ...

Photos of Saturn from Hubble and Cassini

Saturn Seen from Near and Far
As Saturn grows closer through the eyes of the Cassini spacecraft, set for a July 1 arrival, both Cassini and the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope snapped spectacular pictures of the planet and its magnificent rings. For the first time, astronomers can compare views of equal-sharpness of Saturn from two very different perspectives.

The view from Hubble, top, taken on March 22, 2004, is so sharp that many individual Saturnian ringlets can be seen. When Cassini returned its picture of Saturn, bottom, on May 16, it was so close to the planet that the camera could not fit the whole planet in its field-of-view. Cassini is still about 12.4 million miles away and only 36 days from reaching Saturn.

The differences between the Hubble and Cassini images are mainly due to the different sets of filters used.
