'The Good Samaritan' by Sylvia Clayton

"We all have to die... sometime."

Having developed a new, deadly spore, the aliens decide to conduct a field test; they take over the staff at a diner, and succeed in poisoning several patrons, who die in a matter of minutes. Elsewhere, Marcus Madison Mason, the greedy, womanising CEO of the powerful multinational organisation Mason Industries, announces that his new, radiation-resistant grain will end world hunger. Hoping to learn the secret of Mason’s biogenetic engineering, which she hopes will help further her research into defeating the alien invaders, Suzanne asks her uncle, General Wilson, to arrange a meeting with the businessman. Mason agrees, seeing the opportunity to wine, dine and then bed Suzanne; the two of them have dinner, but Suzanne easily sees through Mason, and leaves at the end of the evening without the information she needed. Meanwhile, the aliens have identified the grain as a means of distributing their toxic spore, and they waste no time in taking over Mason and infiltrating his business; having infected the grain, the aliens then prepare for it to be shipped for free throughout the entire world…
