(Predator goes to Twentieth Century Fox.) The Predator strikes again! Or did it only just strike? This book is a spinoff to 'Predator: The Mission', but also a prequel. In this book: Bloodshed's role changes quickly, from being the main ANTAGONIST in the other books, to becoming the main PROTAGANIST. His adversary: Shadow-Claw, finally locates Bloodshed and begins it's own hunt. While this story DOES show how cruel Bloodshed IS and can be. It's not a concrete backstory to Bloodshed himself.
