Description:

"In a far-distant future, the Uman Empire has spread to the stars and beyond, conquering and colonizing worlds, ruling with a benevolent - but iron - fist. The Pax Umana reigns - and all is well." "But on one planet, the remnants of a violent, shape-shifting race called the Sagathis are confined, kept captive by Xeno-cops, who have been bio-engineered to be able to see through their guises. Still, sometimes one manages to escape." "Jak Cato is a Xeno-cop. He's returning a fugitive Sagathi when things go horribly wrong. Cato - who avoids being slaughtered with the rest of his men because he was drunk - has to figure out who betrayed them, recapture the Sagathi, and exact revenge." Which means that he must, for the first time in a long time, act like the hero he was created to be. It's going to be a tough job, but Cato is duty-bound to bring the alien in, whatever the cost.
