      About This Book

      CAT. Street punk. Psion. Telepath. Kidnapped by an interstellar corporation and dragged to Earth, Cat is forced to protect those he most hates, those who most hate him...

      The taMings. A cyber-augmented, DNA-incestuous clan of such wealth and power that their family arguments change the destiny of worlds. Now one taMing is a killer's target. But which? And who would dare?

      Seeking answers, Cat finds lies and savagery, passion and atrocity--trails that lead from crystal valleys to clubs for silver-skinned beauties. From the homicidal enclaves of drug kings to a fanatic's pulpit. From the halls of the Assembly to a cyberspace hell. Seeking assassins, Cat discovers a mystery that can cost him his future. His sanity. His life. Because Cat isn't a bodyguard ...

      He's bait.
