(D) Take It or Leave It
Bell, a mathematician and better known to science fiction readers as John Taine, writes of the world’s last dictator on the eve of World War II. Politically and geographically imprisoned in jungle-choked Amazonia, where cattle and all other sources of meat are impossible to maintain, the dictator must rely on a doctor and his strange experiments to produce a fruit that tastes like meat. The doctor, however, has other plans. Stilted SF/horror hybrid sounds preachy without having anything much to preach about.
