The Disciples of Goedric Trilogy
The story begins in the not so distant future when Etan, a fragile young man plagued by horrific visions, is released from the hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan and thrown into the middle of a war that has been raging against homosexuals twenty-seven centuries. An epic journey unfolds, as young Etan flees to Chicago and then to the remote jungles of Mexico in a desperate attempt to stop the genocide of every single gay man and lesbian woman on earth…
Gay Gene Weeks after the discovery of the gay gene is announced by researchers at the IHI Medical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, IFC Pharmaceuticals announces “AEG/IS”—the gay cure. While the world is busy debating the drug’s merits, a suspicious fever kills hundreds of thousands of gay men in the matter of hours, presenting millions upon millions of people with an impossible choice—take the gay cure or die.
“Spellbinding and terrifyingly possible!”—GayNovelists.com
Guardians of the Young Etan, AKA “Patient G,” flees his Chicago apartment in the middle of the night, narrowly escaping IFC henchmen who will stop at nothing to get him back under their control. His only hope lays with a rag-tag group of friends, led by the redoubtable Sues, two tough, old-guard lesbians who never thought they’d live long enough to witness the horrors of a second gay plague.
Sue DeGault and Sue Keller pray for strength as they prepare to battle fate, and the IFC, a corporate goliath controlled by a powerful family with roots dating back to the days of King Yoshiyahu of Judea—a family that has been raging a religious war against homosexuals for 2,700 years.
“Sometimes history is fiction, and sometimes fiction makes history.”—GayNovelists.com
Soulfire and Far away in the remote mountains of Mexico, a great grey-wolf raises its muzzle and curls back his lips to taste the air. The scent of blood stings his palette, and he howls into ancient winds as they paint the mists with death. The winds were born on the battlefield, in a time long past. They saw the Great Purge of King Yoshiyahu. They witnessed the atrocities that were committed in the name of Yahweh, and they moaned in anguish as the blood of the Disciples of Goedric muddied the ground.
The Sons and Daughters of Goedric had fallen, and their once noble creed was trapped in time, drifting like a ripple across an endless sea—with no hope of shore.

About the author
Jeffrey Jude
8 books58 followersJeffrey was born in Detroit Michigan and earned a B.S. in Biology and M.S. in Plant Ecology from Wayne State University before moving to Chicago to attend the University of Chicago where he studied Evolutionary Biology.
While in Chicago Jeffrey was a volunteer at Gay and Lesbian Horizons serving as as a peer counselor as well as an instructor of gay sensitivity for the Chicago Police Department. He was also the co-chair of the Illinois Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
Jeffrey returned to Michigan for a couple of years and served as a board member of he Michigan Organization for Human Rights, as well as the MOHR Foundation. With a small group of friends, he formed Affirmations, a community center for lesbians and gays which has since moved to Ferndale, Michigan and grown enormously.
Missing Chicago, Jeffrey returned to form Overlooked Opinions, the first national opinion polling firm specializing in gay and lesbian polling and market research. Overlooked Opinions' ground breaking research was cited in virtually every major market publication in the US and Canada, as well as across five contienents, promoting understanding and visibility for gay men and lesbian women worldwide.
Jeffrey now lives part of the year in Riviera Nayarit near Puerto Vallarta and part of the year in a small town near Grand Rapids, Michigan. He shares his home with five wolfdog hybrids (Spike, Gandalf, Monkey, Beasty and Storm) and is an avid nature lover enjoying regular jaunts into the jungles of Mexico and the woodlands of Michigan.
The Disciples of Goedric Trilogy was Jeffrey's first serious forey into the world of writing fiction. It started as a waking dream on the rowing machine and evolved into an epic tale spanning three volumes:
Gay Gene Rising, Guardians of the Blood and SoulFire and Tears. The next book in the series picks up where The Disciples of Goedric left off and will be titled Killian's Breath.
For those who wonder about such things, Jeffrey is single, still searching for that knight in somewhat tarnished armor; his favorite food is Thai, and his favorite beverages are black coffee, well aged scotch and red wine.

This, a compelling conclusion, was no disappointment, except that the written adventure is finished for now.
