When love is forbidden, the whole world’s a prison.
Dylan Moore will do anything for freedom.
Seven years ago, a gay plague spread to heterosexuals, killing millions and
sparking brutal anti-gay riots. The Guardians rounded up men who tested
positive for the homogene and imprisoned them in remote quarantine centers like
desolate Camp Malheur. Since then, Dylan has hacked the camp's security systems
and hoarded spare bits of electronics, seeking some way to escape. He has concluded
the human guards are the only weakness in the facility's defenses.
Camp guard Rafe Cowell is H-negative. He
figures the lust he feels watching prisoner 3218 masturbate on the surveillance
cameras must be due to his loneliness and isolation. When he finally meets the
young queer, he discovers that Dylan is brilliant, brave, sexy as hell — and
claims to be in love with Rafe. Despite his qualms, Rafe finds he can't resist
the other man's charm. By the time Dylan asks for his help in escaping, Rafe
cares too much for Dylan to refuse.
Dylan's plan goes awry and Rafe comes to
his rescue. Soon they're both fugitives, fleeing from militant survivalists,
murderous androids, homophobic ideologues and a powerful man who wants Dylan as
his sexual toy. Hiding in the Plague-ravaged city of Sanfran, Dylan and Rafe
learn there's far more than their own safety at stake. Can they help prevent
the deaths of millions more people? And can Rafe trust the love of a man who
deliberately seduced him in order to escape from quarantine?
Note: This novel was previously released by
Pride Publishing under the title Quarantine. It has been revised and re-edited

PG-Rated Excerpt
The fact was, no one really knew who the
Guardians were. At the height of the Plague, thousands had been dying daily.
The streets stank from the smoke of burning bodies and torched buildings.
Crazed mobs had roamed the cities, looking for the “carriers” they blamed for
the death of their loved ones. The fact that gays had been dying twice as fast
as straights hadn’t stopped them.
Then the Robbies had marched in, a small
army, with Tasers and tear gas. At first, some people had screamed about an
alien invasion. Within hours, the messages began coming from “the Guardians of
American Greatness”, urging people to be calm, promising to contain the scourge
of the perverts. Gradually, the chaos had subsided.
Dylan vividly remembered being dragged to
the testing center by a pair of robots. They’d smashed in the door of the
Castro District apartment he’d shared with his lover. Miguel’s body had been
sprawled on their bed, his coffee-colored skin riddled with the oozing sores
that were the Plague’s mark. Dylan had been crouched on the floor, crying and
rocking back and forth, while explosions shook the building and sirens wailed.
He hadn’t put up any fight. What would have
been the use? Miguel was dead. The world was in flames. He’d been seventeen.
But he was ready to fight now. He’d do
whatever was necessary to get out of this hell. Dylan reached into the basin of
the chemical toilet, feeling around the inside rim. The slimy plastoceramic
surface made his skin crawl. Ammonia fumes burned his nostrils. He grinned as
his fingers found the item he sought. Detaching the object from the hook he’d
installed, he brought out an oblong about the size of a cig pack.
He unwrapped the protective plastic and
switched on the controller. The organic LCD screen glowed pale blue. He’d
lifted it from a discarded microwave oven. His fingers danced over the
keyboard, composing his message. The interface was crude but adequate for his
needs.
Closing his eyes, he brought up an image of
the brawny black guard who was his target. What would work best? He didn’t know
much about Rafe—he hadn’t been able to hack the guy’s dossier. He could read
boredom and frustration in the man’s strong, regular features. He knew from
their first encounter that Rafe had a temper. Yet Dylan also sensed a streak of
decency. Most of the human guards at Malheur were supposed to be convicts. Let
the dregs take care of the pariahs seemed to be the Guardians’ philosophy. Rafe
hadn’t struck him as the criminal type, though, despite his rough looks.
Clearly Rafe was attracted to men, or at
least to Dylan. But he probably didn’t consider himself queer. Best not to be
too explicit in the message, then. It would be better to allow Rafe to deceive
himself about his motives.
Dylan completed his task, scheduled the message, and pressed “Send”. If all went well, the invitation would be delivered to Rafe on his private channel tomorrow afternoon.
