Sundipper

by Paul B. Thompson

THE SUN
Source of most of the solar system's power and proving ground for the Sundippers, brave men and women who fly their specially-designed ships directly into the sun to tap its devastating energies.

THE GIFT
Legendary sensation of great warmth and power, long fabled in old Earth literature, experienced by the Sundippers after prolonged exposure to the sun's deadly radiation.

THE SUNDIPPER
Matthew Lawton is the finest Sundipper of all—until he meets Sasha, a beautiful woman on the run from the men who think she killed her husband. But Sasha is really an alien being who feeds on the human life force... and her uncontrollable hunger is growing. Matthew thinks the Gift may be the answer—but before he can get her into space, he finds himself involved in a deadly race for his life...

Flying *really* close to the sun makes your skin all crispy and gives you cancer, but if you can fly just a little bit closer, it also gives you magic blue sex powers that alien vampire chicks dig.
