Synopsis

William Blackhorse Singer, the last Navajo on a future Earth, is called upon to aid in protecting an alien diplomat from a powerful and hostile member of his own species. With the aid of a shape-shifting alien known as "Cat," he carries out the mission, with one condition: when the mission is over, Cat wants a return bout with the man who captured him, a chase with Singer as the hunted instead of the hunter . . .

Eye of Cat takes a twist on the hunter turned hunted. William Blackhorse Singer is hired to protect an alien diplomat, then enlists the assistance of a shapeshifter he captured years earlier. The creature will only help on the condition that it gets a chance to try to trap Singer once the mission is completed.

I don't normally care for stories with pure Native American Indians in the space age of the future who use their in-born skills to track aliens & such. Kind of hoakey & goes against my philosophy that we'll merge into one race (the sooner, the better), but that's the plot here & it's done as well as......more

Zelazny, odlican kao i uvijek. Njegovi poetski opisi su nesto gdje se lako izgubis. Borbe kroz Sjene su me podsjetile dosta na Corwinov serijal o Amberu i bas mi se svidjelo. Uvijek sam htio procitati o nekom Indijancu neku kvalitetnu knjigu, eto jos je i sf i to od Zelaznya. Svaka cast na prijevodu......more

Goodreads review by Neale on August 06, 2013

Roger Zelazny began the 1980s inauspiciously. He had completed the first ‘Amber’ sequence in the late 1970s, and its success seemed to have convinced him that there was an easier path for a professional writer than the fine writing and extravagant conceits of his best early work. He threw out a coup......more
