First try at a cover...

And I kind of like it...a bit abstract yet telling. But is it too plain?

Storyline: Continuing from Dirc and the Dyarvos Bones.

No one believes an extraterrestrial named Dyarvos brought Dirc back to life after a cop killed him, because the damned thing deserted him. Now Dirc's been found guilty of raping and murdering dozens of men, and he's being transported to San Quentin when Dyarvos returns with new plans.

Turns out human males are worth more than Dyarvos thought. Dirc's joyous preparation of the men he'd supplied for the creature's space craft apparently made them not only better suited as fuel but even tastier as food...a real delicacy. So it wants to open up an intergalactic cafe for space travelers, and it wants Dirc to be one of its suppliers. 

He is happy to go along, despite the betrayal and Dyarvos' casual disregard for his feelings...because it'll make him rich. Filthy rich. Rich enough to never have to deal with assholes trying to fuck him over, again.

But first, he needs to get done with that system of justice that wants to execute him...not to mention evade Federal Agents from Area 51 who want to run some pretty vicious tests on him to understand why his DNA has altered. It's going to be a real adventure of a journey.

And along the way, he may even find love with an old friend...Irin, whom Dyarvos had apparently prepped to take his place. The damned thing.

But hey, all's fair in love, war, and business...
