The chemistry between these three men is undeniable, but is it enough to save New York?
Imagine a world without hunger.
In 1960, a superfood was invented that made starvation a thing of the past. Manna, the cheaply manufactured staple food, is now as ubiquitous as salt in the world’s cupboards, pantries and larders.
Nelson Oliver knows plenty about manna. He’s a food scientist—according to his diploma, that is. Lately, he’s been running the register at the local video rental dive to scrape together the cash for his outrageously priced migraine medication.
In a job fair gone bad, Nelson hooks up with copywriter Javier and his computer-geek pal Tim, who whisks them away from the worst of the fiasco in his repurposed moving truck. At least, Nelson thinks those two are acquainted, but they’re acting so evasive about it, he’s not sure how they know each other, exactly. Javier is impervious to Nelson’s flirting, and Tim’s name could appear in the dictionary under the entry for “awkward.” And with a riot raging through Manhattan and yet another headache coming on, it doesn’t seem like Nelson will get an answer anytime soon.
One thing’s for sure, the tension between the three of them is thick enough to cut with a knife...even one of those dull plastic dealies that come in the package with Mannariffic EZ-Mealz.
The Starving Years is a must-read for fans of dystopian romance looking for scorching M/M/M chemistry in a fast-paced, page-turning adventure.

Wow. This book was a complete surprise. I read the blurb and really didn't think I would like it. I thought it sounded like a Soylent Green rip off with a gay twist. It was a free read though so I figured "I'm not going to be out anything but my time." and grabbed it. I'm so glad I did. It's dark and gritty and the now that is described here ,is not a pretty place. It reminded me a lot of some of the dystopian sci/fi books from the 40s-50s imagining what their future our present would look like. When I double checked I was amazed it was published in 2012. It is an alternate reality story that reads like a dystopian story. There is corporate and government corruption, conspiracy theorists, police and government brutality and there's a little bit of sex and a hint of romance. What it definitely is not though is a romance novel. This is a sci/fi book that just happens to have some gay characters. Even if you're not an MM fan but, love dystopian, sci/fi stories you'll find this an interesting read. If you're strictly an MM romance fan, there might not be enough romance (it's not a big part of the story) to keep your interest. I loved it!Product details

The Starving Years MMM Dystopian Romance edition by Jordan Castillo Price Romance eBooks Reviews
Jordan Castillo Price does it again--first she crushed any desire of mine to be psychic after reading PsyCop, and now this. Sometimes when feeding my cat and not feeling particularly up to cooking anything I've said, "Why can't they just make people kibble?" No longer will those words pass my lips. What an awesome ride! I loved the characters, the story--everything! Against the backdrop of such utter chaos, there was such a feeling of unity and family with the characters, who are such an interesting mix of people. I have migraines, so I definitely empathized with Nelson (and yes, the price of migraine meds is too high!). Highly recommend.
I love JCP books. I don't know how she comes up with her unique plots but they are in a category by themselves. The Starving Years has an alternate universe feel to it. Somewhere between not too distant future and not quite dystopian. The MCs were very well developed and interacted so well with each other yet had their own distinct personalities. I found myself fanning myself and drooling over one character in particular, oh Javier you hottie!! There was also a suspenseful who-done-it twist that while it didn't take me by surprise once the great reveal came to light, it still caught me by surprise! Say what?! Yeah, only in a JCP book, lol! 5 unique stars!
This writer never ceases to surprise me with her wonderful imagination. This story is just amazing, so different from the usual. Her writing is as usual addictive as I races to finish it. I love her three guys here. Nelson, Tim and Javier are such distinct and complex characters, each man appealing in his own right. Their MMM relationship is so well done. It started off as three loosely linked "one way" arrows and ended with each arrow going both ways forming a nicely linked triangle. Sexy and believable I just want them to end up together. As for the plot, it is creative, original, tightly paced with not a dull moment. A futuristic world which is so very possible, where population is controlled and staple food is nothing but cheap, flavored, mass produced carbon-protein links controlled by rich conglomerates. One of the delights of life, called eating has been completely eliminated but it is much more than that as one rag-tag bunch soon uncovered a greedy plan which went horribly wrong, with dire consequences . A delightful rag-tag bunch indeed, made up of our three guys and two solid secondary characters. I was in Manhattan for a year and her vivid descriptions do bring back memories of China Town in Canal Street. So easy to believe that the setting in her story is a possible scenario in this part of Manhattan in the future. Amazing story, amazing characters, amazing writing.
This is an older novel of the author, (according to the date on it's from 2012), and it shows, not in the characters or the plot but in the smoothness. In particular, that last chapter either needed a transition paragraph or it needed to be labeled Epilogue. It was jarring, trying to make that time jump with no warning at all.
That said, there's a lot good about this novel. I am not at all sad I finally got around to reading it. It has a lot of creep factor and a lot of struggle through a city coming apart while navigating sudden potential connections with strangers. I loved the way circumstances shifted depending on which of the three points of view we were seeing. I loved how each character's handicaps and baggage skewed what they thought and did. It's interesting and entertaining and scary. I liked it.
