Human vs. Inhuman
To the reptilian mind--especially the intelligent type of planets like Sergan and Obrac--the lives of others were as nothing to the need for status.
To the feline mind--especially to the clever advisor of the master of sergan--the agonies of others were not only of no consequence, they could even be a source of joy.
So when these two types of inhuman intelligences go together to defy the Terran orders against interplanetary kidnapping, space hijacking, and human slavery, it was definitely a case for a top-notch secret agent. Because Earth could not afford a showdown with more than one alien species at a time.
The secret agent was Cap Kennedy, Free Acting Terran Envoy, and his pursuit of the Slave Ship from Sergan turned out to be one of his most dangerous, single-handed adventures.
