Overview

An Alex Kane Mission, Book 2 – Do dreams belong only to the young? Not in Alex Kane's world. When Kane’s financier discovers a plot to take advantage of older gay men Kane jumps into action, gaining the support of a local cowboy plucked right out of the Old West. These evil doers won’t know what hit them when Alex Kane and his Cowboy ride into town! A celebrated series of adventure stories written for a general audience by bad boy John Preston whose journalism and fictional writings brought leather and bondage scene mainstream. This new edition includes a foreword by Philip Gambone (As Far As I Can Tell: Finding My Father In World War II). “... the adventures of gay avenger Alex Kane is both fun to read and uplifting. Any culture needs richness of mythos in order to grow. Preston’s story is a step toward filling a deep need for gay dreams.” – The Advocate “The Alex Kane adventure novels expand the boundaries of family constructions. Alex, his young lover Danny, and Joseph Farmdale, his late lover James’s father, unite to exact justice for hate crimes directed toward gay men. A precursor of Queer Nation’s activists, superhero Alex Kane does not sit idly by as terrorists and bigots extort and kill factions of the gay male community: he pulls out an Uzi. Preston’s theme in these works is literature’s most enduring: the conflict of good and evil – this time with homosexuals being the good guys.” – Jane D. Troxell, Contemporary Gay American Novelists
