Boys of the Fast Lane

The Adventures of Gil Graham & Mike Smith #4

by Zack

The Boys Are Back! Reunited with Mike Smith in London, young American Gil Graham attempts to pursue his career in movies through script writing, while Mike’s younger brother Will pursues Gil with all the guile and determination he possesses in abundance.

Mike has his own problems on a movie set at Pinewood Studios where his job makes him the handler of a teen pop star whose horniness and desire for Mike is only exceeded by the amount of heartache he causes Gil and Mike. Singing sensation Nathan Cliffe, star of the movie, unleashes an avalanche of desperate problems, which threaten to ruin the movie. In an adventure worthy of Hollywood Gil and Mike must try to save the film and Nathan. But in the process can they save themselves?

Gil and Mike must confront the strains that ambition, work, and outright jealousy place on their hard-won love. Will they be up to the challenge or will the frenzy of temptation thrown in their winding path tear them apart forever?

About the author

Born in Switzerland, Oliver Frey a.k.a. Zack, ended up in London and, after supporting himself while attending the London Film School by illustrating war comics, he plunged into gay art and publishing. Innumerable illustrations poured from his pen and brush for British magazines HIM International, Vulcan, Teenage Dreams, the HIM Gay Library series, and Mister magazine. For HIM he created the mold-breaking Rogue comic strip and later The Street, which was part of the inspiration behind cult TV series Queer As Folk. His work has been seen widely through the medium of Gay Toons on the Internet (and in many blogs) and in several strips in America’s Meatmen books. He collaborates with his partner Roger Kean in creating illustrated fiction, the first available being Boys of Vice City, published by Bruno Gmünder. Recently, Gmünder published his comic-strip story compilations Bike Boy and Hot For Boys—The Sexy Adventures of Rogue. A third, Bike Boy Rides Again, is due in february 2012. He lives with his partner in a medieval town on the edge of Wales.

Reviews

[Rick · Rating 5 out of 5]

I almost (almost) get tired of praising this guy, but Zack did it again. This book continues the thrilling (and erotic) adventures of Gil & Mike, and it does so with same energy and excitement as the other volumes in the series. Zack blends humor, erotica and action in delightful ways that keep the pages turning one after another. There aren't many author's that can keep me up at night flipping pages when I should be asleep, but Zack delivers the goods in book, after book, after book.
Thanks Zack! What can I say, this was another winner!

The Boys of Vice City, Disco City, and Two Cities are back in the fast lane. Roger Kean writes well-plotted stories that entertain and include the abundant gay sex required in a "Boys of…" book. Gay art icon Oliver Frey's artwork is the most expressive of any gay artist doing erotica. Together as "Zack" Oliver and Roger have made a fun and adventurous story with triple x artwork to illustrate this glorious tale of fame and folly.

In London Gil is getting amorous attention from Mikes little brother! Mike has his own problems when teenage heartthrob pop star turned movie star Nathan Cliffe turns his off-scren performance into an erotic dance for Mike's heart—and something below his belt. What can Mike do? When the star commands he must obey. Gil isn't happy, the movie brat comes between them, and it's not helped by Mike's teasing when Gil sells a script—for an unlikely project.

Against the frantic backdrop of London's gay scene, Gil and Mike must confront the strains that ambition, work, and outright jealousy place on their hard-won love. Will they be up to the challenge or will the frenzy of temptation tear them apart forever?

[Roger Kean · Rating 5 out of 5]

After the darker tones of Boys of Disco City and Boys of Two Cities, this romp lightens up the continuing love story between American Gil Graham and Brit Mike Smith. They're both still struggling to get somewhere in the movie business, and the different paths they're forced to take cause tension, not helped by the stunning, global phenomenon pop star Nathan Cliff, who sets his cap at Mike… and scores.

The whole thing comes to a crashing climax in traditional Hollywood style with a stupendous car chase, goodies after the baddies. And for those who found hustler Steve a joy in Disco City and Two Cities, it's no spoiler to say… he's back!
