This is a short story that left me wanting more... At the end, I wished it was a full length book. While the end indicates that this is only the end of story 1, I have not found any further installments and can only hope that the author will be inspired to continue the tale. The world's food supply is decimated by disease and a great famine occurs. This famine creates black market conditions for human meat and eventually, it's no longer a black market when the government decides to get in on the action. The poor willingly give up their children to the government run program which treats them as a 'herd'. Women are no longer women; now they're heifers. No one is allowed to learn language or to speak it if they already know it. No one in the herd sees a doctor; they are taken to a vet for check ups. Dehumanizing the herd makes it easier for the handlers and others to live with the knowledge of what's really going on. The concept of this book is awesome and it kept me turning the pages until I reached the end - all too quickly. I wanted it to continue and hope that it does.
