 Warren Miller is a 27-year-old college dropout, working on a cattle
ranch in Colorado around 1969. One drunken Saturday night,
Warren is reluctantly dragged into the gang-rape of a "queer"
who looks enough like him to be his brother, or even his twin.
Afterward, in his search for the victim to apologize and make
amends for the rape, he drives to San Francisco, having several
homosexual adventures along the way. In SF he discovers hustling,
the leather-and head-bar scene, becomes a bartender at a gay bar
called "The Cosmos," learns about Gay Life, falls in love, and
almost gets killed by a crazy cop. The book ends happily.

     		 Robert Thorne is the older brother of Bill Thorne (All or Nothing)
living in Salt Lake City in an unhappy marriage. Someone is
sending him crazy notes claiming his teenage son is gay. After
several mysterious homosexual experiences, he decides that his
brother is somehow persecuting him for a rape that happened
when they were teenagers. He had raped Bill. Now, he decides,
his brother is getting even. He sets out to find Bill. Like the others,
this is a road-book of self-discovery, from supposedly heterosexual
(closeted gay) to homosexual self-acceptance.
