From back cover Tor trade paperback May 1983: **MORALITY VS. SURVIVAL...** Even before the human scientists arrived at the sixth planet of Altair they knew they had their work cut out for them. Star probes had long before informed them that Altair VI had flourishing ecology with one very tough beast at the top of the food chain, a beast that would have to be dealt with before the human colony ships arrived. What they didn't know was that the beast was not only tough, it was as smart as a man -- and that the only human capable of real communication with the wolfcats of Altair would want to become one...
First sentence: He knew that he was going to die.
