	Katar (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Katar (English title: The Chain of Chance) is a novel by Stanisław Lem, published in 1975.
		The novel is clearly grounded in the detective fiction genre, but Lem's treatement introduces many nontraditional elements.
		In this way, the natural laws of probability and chaos theory play the role of suspects and characters in a murder mystery, lending elements of science fiction to the novel, despite its being set in the present.

		Consequently, Dr. Berk and his research group are studying various parameters of the ocular response to infection so that novel treatments can be developed to counter the debilitating effects of the ocular infection.
		The use of both susceptible and resistant mice is particularly useful since it provides investigators with a sophisticated tool for determining what factors lead to ocular loss in susceptible mice as opposed to naturally resistant mice which can spontaneously restore corneal clarity without treatment of any kind.

		Hospital of the Transfiguration, a novel set in a mental institution, was not published until 1956, three years after Stalin's death.
		Lem's early novels and stories were more or less optimistic and based on the conventions of Socialist Realism.
		He discovers that the mysterious organic, sentient "ocean" of the planet is capable of either reproducing images and people from a person's past, innermost obsessions, or causing him to fantasize that he is seeing such visions.

	Peter Swirski- Stanislaw Lem: A Literary Movement Revisited
		The book's organization breaks away from the tedious pattern of enumerating novels in chronological order and providing a glossary of their pertinent themes and issues.
		Stoff claims this class of Lem's novels is unique in their cognizance of the genre's "realm of omnipotence" (19) and the consequent increase in the sophistication of the intellectual games they involve.
		Finally, the fourth group, limited to Lem's two best novels, Solaris and His Master's Voice, is classified as the intellectual examination of paradoxes inherent in the contacts between man and the world.

		When her Judaism is discovered, she is asked to leave and wanders from village to village, confused by the threat that hangs over her, but maintained by a fierce belief in her eventual return to her family.
		Astonishing for its uncanny grace and dexterity in handling harrowing subject matter, Winter's semi-autobiographical debut novel describes the ordeals of a Jewish girl in WWII Slovakia.
		This is a difficult book, not only because of its subject matter, but also because it moves backward and forward in time and because the voice sometimes shifts from that of Katar na to that of a person observing her.

		Katar was rather obcessed with the legend and was modeling himself after Kalmoran.
		From there, the story was about the fall of his ideas, the destruction of the "old" Katar, his fall from grace, his search for redemption, and, finally, the rise of a new Katar-- a hero raised on idealism, but tempered by certain brutal reality. And all kind of stuff like that.
		Rather proud of that one: It fills in all the holes between the movie and the Terry Brooks novelization, including some scenes that were left out of the "final cut" of the movie.

	Legend of the Hawkman
		It was published in an expensive prestige format (ie: square spined, graphic novel format) which might've been a last minute publishing decision.
		A final note: To be "Hawkman-ed" is a term I once saw used referring to DC Comics' constant attempts to "fix" their continuity in the wake of their "Crisis on Infinite Earths" series (which was, itself, intended to clarify the DC universe).
		And the current Hawkman series (begun in 2002) seems to use the Golden Age, re-incarnated Egyptian prince version of the characters...so where these guys, Katar and Shayera Hol, aliens from the planet Thanagar, are in current DC reality, I don't know.

		She wrote the novel _To Die For_, and I hear she's got an unspeakably huge advance for a book on an old friend of mine who is in prison now and whose story ought to be told more sensitively than Joyce is capable of.
		Perhaps it was the "police state" tone of the book and perhaps it was revisiting Hawkman, a character that DC has managed to turn into a continuity mess, but whatever it was, this issue was the weakest of the arc.
		Katar Hol is used with far more subtlety than the latest personification of Superman.

		The Traveller recognized Katar's Thangarian physiology, overrode the pastor's control and attacked Hawkman, and the story resolved through battle.
		Shayera obviously believes that facism is the way to go and Katar is rebellious and picks up democracy very fast, not that that is wrong, but to me there talk is a little preachy.
		I know it was a plot point to get Katar and Shayera closer, as he comes to her rescue and proves Byth did not die, but I don't buy it.

		And all the girls, including lowlander Britta, broad-shouldered Frid, and brusque Katar, are driven to think of their real goals beyond the dangling carrot of becoming a princess of Danland.
		If a novel that's written in a seemingly tired subgenre manages to win a major award as this one did, something new and amazing must have happened there so as to overcome the reading audience's prejudice.
		It is NOT a sword-and-dragon adventure novel (nor is it high fantasy), so don't be confused, but it's a well-written, enjoyable read with some definite moments of excitement.

		Then Katar can come to Earth and assume the identity of Hawkman from the retiring (or deceased) Carter.

		I was surprised to read that it was actually intended to be a back-story for the old Katar Hol Hawkman which wouldn't contradict any of the old Silver Age stories.
		The character at the end of the series was not the same person we'd met at the beginning of the series-- event had changed him.
