I am not Raymond Wallace - one man's mistake is another man's making

Sam Kenyon

Sinopsis

Manhattan, 1963: weeks before the assassination of President Kennedy, fresh-faced Raymond Wallace lands in the New York Times newsroom on a three-month bursary from Cambridge University. He soon discovers his elusive boss, Bukowski, is being covertly blackmailed by an estranged wife, and that he himself is to assist the straight-laced Doty on an article about the 'explosion of overt homosexuality' in the city. On an undercover assignment, a secret world is revealed to Raymond: a world in which he need no longer pretend to be something or someone he cannot be; a world in which he meets Joey.
Like so many men of his time and of his kind, Raymond faces a choice between conformity, courage and compartmentalisation. The decision he makes will ricochet destructively through lives and decades until—in another time, another city; in Paris, 2003—Raymond's son Joe finally meets Joey. And the healing begins.
I Am not Raymond Wallace is a multi-stranded story of queer redemption spanning multiple generations, told with precision-tooled prose, sharply-imagined settings and compassionately-observed characterisation.
'A sensual, moving story of masks and identities, across two continents and four decades... a strikingly confident debut novel.' SAMUEL WEST
Taking as his starting-point a real-life moment of queer history from 1960s New York, Sam Kenyon spins a marvellously stylish and often unexpected story.' NEIL BARTLETT
'A joyous literary triumph that moved me to tears.' JACK FRITSCHER
'A triumph. A primer for all ages.' MURRAY MELVIN

Human for Hire - Soldier of...

T.R. Harris

Staging a coup on a cesspool of a planet can be a dangerous affair. However, when The Human is betrayed by none other than his own client, he and the rest of his team are left running for their lives, pursued by killer robots and with no way off the planet. And that's just the beginning of the story . . . 
 
 
 
Welcome to the world of Adam Cain, AKA: The Human, the closest thing to a superman in the galaxy. As the most famous employee of Starfire Security, The Human is in popular demand. But he has to be careful that his past doesn't catch up to him. You can't go around kicking alien butt without ruffling a few feathers . . . or scales . . . or whatever the alien du jour happens to have for skin.

Revenge, betrayal, and pay-back become the keywords in this latest rip-roaring adventure by sci-fi author T. R. Harris. 
 
 
 
The story continues . . . After the galaxy was savagely attacked by invaders, the Milky Way was left but a shadow of its former self. Gone are the vast empires that once brought stability, law and order to countless star systems. In its wake, a savage, almost Wild West existence emerged, ruled by gun and muscle. And for anyone needing help with either gun or muscle—or both—everyone knows you . . . Hire a Human.
