Predator 2 Novel 2

To the eye of the Predator, Harrigan's squad car appeared as a shimmering red blur as it sped past the police barricade. The heat of its engine registered on the battle helmet's sensors, which were keyed to the Predator's infrared vision. The entire scene, a giant wash of flickering red, yellow, and orange, glowed vibrantly from the heat given off by the combatants' bodies and the flash of their weapons. The bullets and the pattern of the shot from the riotguns appeared as glowing tracers arcing out toward the panel truck behind
which the Colombians were taking shelter. To the Predator, it resembled a crisscrossing latticework of red light, as if the combatants were using lasers.

The heat of the flames added to the infrared display. There was too much input. It was necessary to filter some of it out. Like a camera zooming in on tighter focus, the helmet display seemed to leap forward as the magnification increased in response to the Predator's telepathic command. The focus moved in tighter on Harrigan's police car, filtering out some of the heat registers around it....

The display leaped again, narrowing the focus, increasing magnification as the sensors filtered out the surrounding metal of the squad car and the heat of its engine, moving in through the bodywork to focus on the life-form within. Tighter still. The read-out on the side of the infrared visual display began to list the vital statistics of the life-form inside the racing vehicle, as bioscanners registered the pertinent data and compared it to the information stored in the battle helmet's memory banks.-pg.13-14 chpt.1
