Even though there is no night or day in
space, Private First Class Ezekiel Tahmin’s body has
convinced him it is night. He is on third watch in the
medical bay, next to the morgue. When he hears a noise that
can only be a metal drawer being pulled open, Zeke discovers
Colonel Adran Wir Strauta standing over the body. The alien
is an observer for the Wirran Military and the dead body was
his servant and feeder. The Colonel is convinced that there
is an elaborate conspiracy against him at work, and without
his aide he is in need of a new source of food.
Feed is an interesting
story, a unique twist on your typical alien story. I really
enjoyed the character of Zeke and his view on everything
going on around him. There is a bit of humor and witty
banter between Zeke and the Colonel that makes this a fun
read. I especially liked the admiration between the two
men, and the sense of honor and duty that they both share.
My only complaint is that the story was too short! I wanted
more about the characters and the situation in which they
find themselves. Overall, Feed is a truly
entertaining read! |
