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&#8217;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&#8217;s defenses.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2014 and claims to be in love with Rafe. Despite his qualms, Rafe finds he can&#8217;t resist the other man&#8217;s charm. By the time Dylan asks for his help in escaping, Rafe cares too much for Dylan to refuse.<\/p>\n<p>Dylan&#8217;s plan goes awry and Rafe comes to his rescue. Soon they&#8217;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&#8217;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?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> This novel was previously released by Pride Publishing under the title Quarantine.

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 \u201ccarriers\u201d they blamed for the death of their loved ones. The fact that gays had been dying twice as fast as straights hadn\u2019t stopped them.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cthe Guardians of American Greatness\u201d, urging people to be calm, promising to contain the scourge of the perverts. Gradually, the chaos had subsided.<\/p>\n<p>Dylan vividly remembered being dragged to the testing center by a pair of robots. They\u2019d smashed in the door of the Castro District apartment he\u2019d shared with his lover. Miguel\u2019s body had been sprawled on their bed, his coffee-colored skin riddled with the oozing sores that were the Plague\u2019s mark. Dylan had been crouched on the floor, crying and rocking back and forth, while explosions shook the building and sirens wailed.<\/p>\n<p>He hadn\u2019t put up any fight. What would have been the use? Miguel was dead. The world was in flames. He\u2019d been seventeen.<\/p>\n<p>But he was ready to fight now. He\u2019d 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\u2019d installed, he brought out an oblong about the size of a cig pack.<\/p>\n<p>He unwrapped the protective plastic and switched on the controller. The organic LCD screen glowed pale blue. He\u2019d 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.<\/p>\n<p>Closing his eyes, he brought up an image of the brawny black guard who was his target. What would work best? He didn\u2019t know much about Rafe\u2014he hadn\u2019t been able to hack the guy\u2019s dossier. He could read boredom and frustration in the man\u2019s strong, regular features. He knew from their first encounter that Rafe had a temper. Yet Dylan also sensed a streak of decency.
