A gripping epic of feline survival ...

The Australian feral cat is very much a product of human carelessness at best and callousness at worst. As truly wild as the great cats of Africa and Asia, the feral cat is perhaps the most successful predator in the Australian bush - and a growing threat to the rare native marsupials, birds and reptiles. Its agility, speed, hunting acumen and lack of natural predators make it one of that country's most destructive introduced species, and naturalists and conservationists see its eradication as vital but unlikely. Love it or hate it, the cat is a world-class survivor!

This is the story of such a cat, seen partly through the cat's own eyes and partly through those of an old bushman who is fascinated by a creature his logic tells him he should hate and despise. The cat's life-long fight for survival is an elemental story of the animal world, its interplay with the world of humans, and of the natural forces which shape both.

About the Author:
Gordon Aalborg began his writing career as a reporter, columnist and photo-journalist in his native Alberta, Canada. He wandered off to Australia in the '70s, and CAT TRACKS evolved during his years as a radio and television journalist in Canberra, near where this novel is set. Aalborg made his name (pseudonym, actually) as a romance writer during the '80s and '90s; as Victoria Gordon, he wrote 20 contemporary Harlequin/Mills & Boon romances. Married to mystery novelist Denise Dietz, Aalborg lives on Vancouver Island, where he is currently writing a western historical novel.

Aalborg is a master of this minimalist tone, making you care about the cats and about the bushman -- Amanda Flynn, JoeBobBriggs.com, September 2002
