In \u003ci\u003eThe Low Road\u003c\/i\u003e, James Lear reinvents this classic as a satirical, queer, coming-of-age story. In 1705 Scotland, young Charles Gordon reaches adulthood ignorant of his family's heroic past in the Jacobite Rebellion. He sets out to discover the truth about his father, but instead is kidnapped by mercenaries and sold into slavery as the plaything of a group of corrupt military officials. But Charlie's talents, in and out of bed, win him powerful friends as well as dangerous foes. The false priest, Lebecque, violent Captain Robert, depraved General Wilmott -- all contribute to Charlie's \"education.\" Eventually leading a makeshift army of sex-crazed layabouts, Charlie faces the might of the English forces. Will he triumph, or is it better to retreat to the safety of his sybaritic lifestyle? James Lear expertly interweaves spies and counterspies, scheming servants and sadistic captains, tavern trysts and prison orgies, into this delightfully erotic work that can take its place alongside his acclaimed novels \u003ci\u003eThe Back Passage\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHot Valley\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cleis Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573443647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 4.94w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Finalist","brand":"James Lear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45351298760885,"sku":"9781573443647","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_592adc9b-cbff-4b9a-bb5e-a020264959b8.jpg?v=1746540911","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/low-road-9781573443647","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
