In this eclectic novel aimed for adult readers, two gay men
navigate some unexpected trials in their fledgling relationship
when one of them takes off on an extraterrestrial contact
experience. After Andy Gage disappears from his San Francisco flat
in the early hours of a June morning in 1995, his boyfriend of
three months, Richard Lang, is frantic to find him. When his search
takes him to the slopes of Mount Shasta ten hours later, the
couples' mind boggling metaphysical multidimensional adventure
together is only the beginning. ...Andy Gage thought he knew who he
was. He knew he was an empath, too often in synch with and in tune
to the feelings of others. And because of it, he knew he had
difficulty recognizing and trusting his own feelings. Andy knew
there was more to All There Is than this three dimensional reality
we live in. He was a survivor: an outrageous and outraged gay man
in his late thirties who had fled his Midwestern upbringing in
Indiana and gay life in Chicago to start over in San Francisco. He
had lost a lover to AIDS. And though still HIV negative himself, he
was resisting Love in the form of the ardent advances of Richard
Lang. He knew the only happy endings were in the classic movies of
Hollywood's Golden Age that he loved and into which he escaped as
often as possible. He didn't suspect that he had a few wake up
calls coming. The story of Andy's awakenings takes place in 1995
San Francisco, it could have taken place yesterday, it could have
happened in any other place or time, but it didn't.

Fresh out of a Defiance, Ohio, high school, Thomas Boyd (1898-1935)
joined the Marines to serve his country in the patriotic heat of
the spring of 1917. In 1919 he came home from the war with a Croix
de Guerre and a desire to write. He joined the St. Paul News as a
journalist and opened a bookstore, whose patrons included F. Scott
Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis. Through the Wheat appeared to
immediate acclaim, with F. Scott Fitzgerald calling it "a work of
art" and "arresting." Boyd wrote five other works before he died in
Vermont of a cerebral hemorrhage at age thirty-seven. Introducing
this Bison Books edition is Edwin Howard Simmons, a retired
brigadier general in the United States Marine Corps and the author
of The United States Marines: A History.
