Beginning of Time
(Gay Erotic Romance / Gay Historical)
A profoundly moving story of primeval survival and love. Beginning of Time chronicles the sexual awakening and fulfillment of a young man struggling to learn how to fit into his hostile, primitive environment. As he moves from an almost animal existence to an ancient civilization to a slightly more advanced ancient civilization—not always by choice—his resilience is taxed. But he survives, as does his innocent vulnerability, until he is saved by reaching his protector and ultimate lover, and their love story is depicted on a cave wall for future generations to discover, decipher, and appreciate.

When I read the blurb I thought instantly of the movie Quest for Fire and I remembered how I had loved it at the time. I was really curious and excited to read it, this subject being such a rarity and I wasn't disappointed.
The author made a wonderful job with the re-creation of the beginning of time. It is a fascinating tale about discovery, courage and love. It is the journey of a young man who learns that the world can be hostile and brutal when he is kidnapped from his home and later is captured another time and used as a slave. Fortunately he will see another side of it with another tribe where he is offered knowledge and is accepted as a part of the community.
At one time he finds himself injured and is rescued by a man who will become his future. This same man will, day after day, draw their life and love story on the wall of their cave!
It seems a simple enough story to tell given the fact that the goal at the time was only to survive another day. But I think it takes a skillful author to make it rings so true.
This book is a wonderful and moving short story. I give it a 4.5/5.

I found this book, hoping it would provide a gay angle on a story similar to 10.000 BC, but it disappointed me immensely. There's so much sex on each page that it didn't even excite me at all. And the end was just awful... at least it was just a short story.

The trouble with this book is that it manages to span a few eons in human eolution. it's kinda sweet... that's the most i can say.

A very interesting look into sam-sex attraction through the ages. We've always been here and always will be.
