Predatory Practices
WHAT'S A CAT GOTTA DO TO MAKE SOME CASH AROUND HERE?
When the K'Nes finally overthrew their human occupiers six months ago, it should have been a new chapter in the life of businesscat Miao K'Rrowr K'Heth... but since then, he's been demoted, swindled out of his savings, and lost the love of his life. Heth is determined to get it all back, and soon... but high reward means high risk.
Desperate enough to take the most dangerous smuggling jobs, wheeling and dealing his way through human space, Heth is reluctantly drawn into the three-way civil war raging among the humans - a war that threatens to spill over onto the K'Nes, a species of hyper-capitalistic floating felines who just want to be left alone to make money.
With war raging outside and troubling corporate conspiracies vying for power within K'Nes society, does this little cat have what it takes to save his species, get the girl, and make some cash on the side? Stocks will rise, bullets will fly, and empires will fall before his predatory practices are through.

About the author
Edward Stasheff
8 books2 followersEdward Stasheff, Professor of Speech Communication and Theatre, whose field was radio and television, has retired from the faculty as of July 1, 1978, after twenty six years service to The University of Michigan. He joined the faculty in 1952 as an Associate Professor and was promoted to Professor in 1958.
Born in New York City, he was first a high school teacher and then an educational radio broadcaster for the New York schools. He became active in television in its earliest years when he joined CBS-TV in 1945 as an educational consultant. Later he served WPIX-TV as a program specialist and directed drama programs for the ABC-TV network.
Although he taught a wide range of courses, Professor Stasheff's specialty was television production and direction. Three books on this subject, which became standard texts, and more than forty articles established him as a national figure; the quality of his students, who found positions in stations, networks, and universities around the country further enhanced his reputation.
Throughout his career he continued to be an innovator in the television field. While on leave, he served for a year as a Program Associate for National Educational Television in its beginning years in 1957-58, and again while on leave in 1965-66 he went to Israel to help that nation establish a television service. He returned to Israel on two other occasions between academic years to conduct training sessions and served on international committees dealing with educational television. He has also been a consultant and given lectures in a number of other countries.
In 1968 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by Eastern Michigan University for his contributions as a teacher, writer, and specialist in television in both this country and abroad.
On July 1, 1978, he was named Professor Emeritus of Speech Communication and Theatre by the Regents of the University of Michigan.
