    About this ebook

    Lupe and the mercenary crew of the spaceship Puerco track a shapeshifting killing machine on a planet of pure Hell. Their only food in the barren frontier wasteland:  Manny the Ration, a walking human foodstuff who makes Lupe sick to the stomach. As Lupe and her men close in on their target, the fugitive killer strikes back brutally, devouring her crew one by one. With no one else to turn to, Lupe must team with Manny the Ration for a death-defying chase through an ever-changing wilderness. In the heat of a race for their lives, Lupe finds herself doing the unthinkable: falling in love with Manny. But what will she do when her only chance for survival lies in eating the edible man she loves?

      My Cannibal Lover

      Only as I devour the flesh of Manny’s finger for what must be the hundredth--and final--time do I finally realize that I love him back.

      It truly blows my mind.  It’s one thing for Rations to fall in love with those who feed on them--it’s not uncommon at all--but who ever heard of a woman falling for her food?

      This just might be a first.

      Too bad no one will likely ever know.  Too bad both of us will die before long.

      Manny will die from being eaten alive, and I will die of starvation when there’s no more Manny left to eat.

      Have some more, Lupe.  He has one finger left, a right thumb, and he presses it toward me.  He has a smile on his sugar-white face with its tutti-frutti swirls like he’s a child offering me candy.

      I shake my head.  I’ll be okay. My voice is hoarse.  Save it for later.

      Manny frowns and opens his mouth like he’s going to argue.  Then, he smiles sadly and pulls back the thumb. Maybe you’re right.

      Double damn skippy I’m right.  I force on a smirk of my own for his benefit.  The truth is, my stomach’s still rumbling something fierce, but my Ration’s got to stretch.

      There’s always been plenty of Manny to go around, but not anymore.  These days, he can’t replace what I eat.

      This time, when he’s gone, he’s gone for good.

      Two months ago, when I first met Manny, I couldn’t have imagined feeling sorry about running out of him.  He was nothing but food to me then...food I wouldn’t eat, at that.

      It wasn’t the taste of him that I hated, since I hadn’t actually tasted him back then.  It was just that I hated all his kind.

      In fact, I just about shot him
