Summary from Flyer

And now Doyle wakes from sleep, and he also finds himself in "a different earth," certainly not the world he's accustomed to ... and not a pleasant world, either. He's human, yes; he recalls being a policeman, just as Bodie recalled being a soldier ... but in this gods-forsaken place there is war on the borderlands between two neighoring states, and prisoners or war are ensalved. Here is Bodie, POW a chattel, with one thought in his mind: to get home, aross the border. It's Doyle's self-appointed task to get him there, and subsequently he discovers just who, and what Bodie is ... before that force neither of them understands snatches the stranger out of this strange land, leaving Doyle alone. He's a policeman again, in the world he knows ... but something isn't the same, and the plot is about to thiken with a vengeance!

Reactions and Reviews

In it Ray is shot and being operated on and has this strange dream. Bodie is a bed slave that he decides to rescue and return to his lover Tony. In the end as a thank you gift Bodie has sex with Ray and teaches him how good it can be between men. Doyle wakes up from his operation with a gold chain he never before owned but was given him in his dream and is now Bi. He's also disillusioned with the police and looking for something else. [It is] very Au and a bit on the strange side but I like AU's and I like Wally's stories so I enjoyed [it].
