Dark Desires by Nina Croft
The year is 3048, Earth is no longer habitable, and man has fled to the stars where
they’ve discovered the secret of immortality — Meridian. Unfortunately, the radioactive
mineral is exorbitantly expensive and only available to a select few. A new class
comprised of the super-rich and immortal soon evolved. The Collective, as they’re
called, rule the universe. But as with any civilization there are some people who just
don't want to be ruled. So meet the crew of the space cruiser, El Cazador de la Sangre
(The Blood Hunter) and join them on their adventures, romantic and otherwise, as they
wreak havoc across the universe...
Temporal Shift: "It was empowering, imaginative, with just the right amounts of
mystery, adventure and love."
