FATHER. FIEND? SCIENTIST. BUTCHER? PATRIOT. NAZI? Sebastian S. Mann, prominent member of post-WWII U.S. rocket development, has gone missing with other expedition members supposedly caving in South America. Having done so just days before revelations that he may have been responsible for the deaths of over two-hundred thousand gays, Jews, gypsies, and Romanian freedom fighters. Years later, the male heirs of three missing members of Mann's lost expedition meet up in deep Brazilian jungle to explore evidence finally turned up of their fathers' possibly last campsite. Brad Lexly and Kurt Mann, childhood friends and lovers, rekindle their previous passionate relationship but know its success, beyond the isolating jungle environment, depends upon an acceptable explanation for Sebastian Mann's disappearance. More dangerous people than they, though, seek answers, too, and also provide definite possibilities for this expedition ending up just as missing as the one gone before it.
I've been in the business of writing books for a very long time, and I derive particular enjoyment from visiting different places and then trying to relay the "essence" of those places to my readers. Likewise, I'm very adventuresome regarding trying new things, whether it be exotic and strange foods and/or other more personal "things".
Maltese..is like..some..godfather of hypermasculine-homoerotic fiction..or something. It's impossible not to have a physiological reaction to his filthy words...(unless flat-lined).
This is actually a seductive fast-paced jungle thriller. Intriguing German ancestry/mystery with teenage first loves in search of their MIA fathers under some dense sweaty tropical umbrella rainforest..shit.
Yeah, Maltese is like the Hemingway of gay erotica, and it comes through in his work, loud and clear. He always writes detailed narrative, and it’s believable, even if he’s completely making it up! ...no this isn’t about Nazi exploitation...it’s about this guy named Kurt Mann, who ventures off to South America [where is father was murdered], along with this guy Brad [an ex-lover from his youth] and this dude Jim, both of whom also had dad’s disappear in the same jungle [that’s why they’re going together-see?] Now Kurt’s dad MIGHT be an ex-Nazi doctor, who just MIGHT be responsible for the death’s of the other two men’s fathers. The plot thickens. So does the sex in the jungle. 0__0 Seriously. One-handed reading with plot is so hard to come by [no pun intended], so I highly recommend this one if you’re an action geek who loves gay erotica.
