Product Description
Product Description
On the lam from a vicious ex-wife who'd won everything but the kitchen sink in the divorce, Ken MacKay was a journeyman crew member on Rustam's Slipper, the sorriest scow ever to move cargo between stars.
Then in a low-class spacers' bar in a miserable town on a no-name world he met Catarina Lindquist, the kind of girl his mom had always warned him about. She had alabaster skin, platinum hair, and slender legs that went from here to there and back again via the scenic route.
Catarina's yen for Ken was almost as strong as her passion for chocolate. Alas for Ken, Catarina's other obsession was infectious, and so was she. Soon, Ken too needed chocolate to control the symptoms of McLendon's Syndrome-- they'd live damn near forever but they'd always have a Chunky (tm) on their back.
Soon Naval Intelligence found a devious use for their mutual affliction: it assigned Ken and Catarina to the planet Macdonald, whose nonhuman inhabitants had a quaint theory about the true Secret Masters of the Human Race . . .

TeeHee and ROTFLMAO!,
By V Meghan Roberts. (dy565@freenet.carleton.ca) (Oakville Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: VMR Theory (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked it up because my innitials are VMR... a fact which only made the thing funnier :) <sigh> I may not have McLendon's, but I have been called a vampire, and I most certainly think that we constitute the master race. So there. Actual review: This is one of the funniest books I've ever read. I'm not entirely sure wether to call it satire or random sillyness with a binding. "Refreshing!" "Unpredictable!" "He bought the WHAT!?!"

By A Customer
This review is from: VMR Theory (Mass Market Paperback)
VMR IS JUST AS CRAZY AS THE FIRST BOOK IN THE SERIES. THE ONLY QUESTION IS "WHEN WILL THERE BE MORE!!!"
