I. Gay Gene Rising
II. Guardians of the Blood
III. SoulFire and Tears

All three books is one larger format volume.

Gay Gene Rising: Etan Reyes Llamas, AKA, Patient G—a frail young man who is plagued by horrific visions is released from the hospital after his rare blood condition leads to the discovery of the gay gene. Within weeks, IFC Pharmaceuticals announces AEG/IS, the gay cure. While the world is busy debating the drug’s merits, a suspicious fever kills hundreds of thousands of gay men in the matter of hours, presenting millions upon millions of people with an impossible choice... take the gay cure or die.

Guardians of the Blood: Etan flees his Chicago apartment, narrowly escaping corporate henchman who will stop at nothing to get him back under their control. His only hope lies with a rag-tag group of friends, led by the redoubtable Sues, two tough, old-guard lesbians who never thought they’d live long enough to witness the horrors of a second gay plague. Sue DeGault and Sue Keller pray for strength as they prepare to battle fate, and the IFC, a corporate goliath controlled by a powerful family with roots dating back to the days of King Yoshiyahu of Judah—an ancient family that has been raging a religious war against homosexuals for 2,700 years.

SoulFire and Tears: In the remote mountains of Mexico, a great grey-wolf raises its muzzle and curls back his lips to taste the air. The scent of blood stings his palette, and he howls into ancient winds as they paint the mists with death. The winds were born on the battlefield, in a time long past. They saw the Great Purge of King Yoshiyahu. They witnessed the atrocities that were committed in the name of Yahweh, and they moaned in anguish as the blood of the Disciples of Goedric muddied the ground. The Sons and Daughters of Goedric had fallen, and their once noble creed was trapped in time, drifting like a ripple across an endless sea, waiting for the second dawn of Man’s hope—with no sign of shore.

Prepare to remember what you should never have forgotten—for these pages were written for you...(less)

I wasn't going to write a review because I initially felt that if I wrote what I thought that my reasons for loving this book were my own and that it wasn't particularily important to share them with others.

Then, I thought about it a bit more and I decided that maybe there were others out there not so unlike me and that perhaps my keeping my feelings to myself was a bit selfish.. so here goes. Take it or leave it.

This book was sent to me by a lesbian friend of mine as a kindle gift on Amazon. Sh...more

It starts of simply, with a group of friends getting together for dinner, add a touch of sci-fi and fantasy and BAM, you’re off on an epic adventure! J.J.’s quite a bastard though, as the action shifts into high gear the book ends, it doesn’t stand alone, so plan on buying all three or the combined edition. Reading this, I thought of Perry Brass’s Mirage Trilogy, as he also combines sci-fi and fantasy, along with addressing contemporary issues, and I thought of James L. Halperin, for being well...more

I was going to try to write this review without using the word epic, but that's not going to happen. This book embodies the word epic as you would have described blockbuster classic movies. The locations are varied and well researched, the characters are diverse and compelling and the storyline whilst encompassing elements of fantasy/fiction also deals with very contemporary and relevant current affairs.
Books can entertain, inform and hopefully enthrall the reader. Jeffrey Jude has accomplished...more

...more Jeffrey was born in Detroit Michigan and earned a B.S. in Biology and M.S. in Plant Ecology from Wayne State University before moving to Chicago to attend the University of Chicago where he studied Evolutionary Biology.

While in Chicago Jeffrey was a volunteer at Gay and Lesbian Horizons serving as as a peer counselor as well as an instructor of gay sensitivity for the Chicago Police Department. He was also the co-chair of the Illinois Gay and Lesbian Task Force.

Jeffrey returned to Michigan for a couple of years and served as a board member of he Michigan Organization for Human Rights, as well as the MOHR Foundation. With a small group of friends, he formed Affirmations, a community center for lesbians and gays which has since moved to Ferndale, Michigan and grown enormously.

Missing Chicago, Jeffrey returned to form Overlooked Opinions, the first national opinion polling firm specializing in gay and lesbian polling and market research. Overlooked Opinions' ground breaking research was cited in virtually every major market publication in the US and Canada, as well as across five contienents, promoting understanding and visibility for gay men and lesbian women worldwide.

Jeffrey now lives part of the year in Riviera Nayarit near Puerto Vallarta and part of the year in a small town near Grand Rapids, Michigan. He shares his home with five wolfdog hybrids (Spike, Gandalf, Monkey, Beasty and Storm) and is an avid nature lover enjoying regular jaunts into the jungles of Mexico and the woodlands of Michigan.

The Disciples of Goedric Trilogy was Jeffrey's first serious forey into the world of writing fiction. It started as a waking dream on the rowing machine and evolved into an epic tale spanning three volumes:

Gay Gene Rising, Guardians of the Blood and SoulFire and Tears. The next book in the series picks up where The Disciples of Goedric left off and will be titled Killian's Breath.

For those who wonder about such things, Jeffrey is single, still searching for that knight in somewhat tarnished armor; his favorite food is Thai, and his favorite beverages are black coffee, well aged scotch and red wine.
