The Starving Years
of Jordan Castillo Price (Goodreads Author)
Description
Librarian's note: This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN: B007H0KETIImagine a world without hunger. In 1960, a superfood was invented that made starvation a thing of the past. Manna, the cheaply manufactured staple food, is now as ubiquitous as salt in the worldâs cupboards, pantries and larders.Nelson Oliver knows plenty about manna. Heâs a food scientistâaccording to his diploma, that is. Lately, heâs been running the register at the local video rental dive to scrape together the cash for his exorbitantly priced migraine medication.In a job fair gone bad, Nelson hooks up with copywriter Javier and his computer-geek pal Tim, who whisks them away from the worst of the fiasco in his repurposed moving truck. At least, Nelson thinks those two are acquainted, but theyâre acting so evasive about it, heâs not sure how they know each other, exactly. Javier is impervious to Nelsonâs flirting, and Timâs name could appear in the dictionary under the entry for âawkward.â And with a riot raging through Manhattan and yet another headache coming on, it doesnât seem like Nelson will get an answer anytime soon. One thingâs for sure, the tension between the three of them is thick enough to cut with a knife...even one of those dull plastic dealies that come in the package with Mannariffic EZ-Mealz.
