"Hmmm, an alien, an angel, and a dead prophet. Welcome. We've been expecting you. Please come in." Operating a piece of heavy machinery, for example, a time machine under the influence of tainted human blood, is never a good idea, especially if my oldest friend and onboard computer, Lasitor, vowed to protect not only me but my bloodline for eternity. This is my story. If you haven't figured that out by now, I feel sorry for you and your parents. Anyhow, this is how I found my soulmate by accident in a time and place not written down in your human history books. My story comes with a warning label. It is a time travel, speculative science fiction fantasy-I'm spelling it out for those slow to grasp things like this. It contains elements that might shock or confuse you. Your human history about where you came from, and where you think you are going, might or might not be as you imagined. The explicit, graphic depictions of my love life and my travels are unsuitable for young, sensitive readers or anyone offended by gay sex. Thank you to the wonderful author who has taken the time to write it all down, meticulously.

Der Unschuldige - Die Geschichte einer Wandlung
Aus dem Buch: "Das Leben hatte sich pl繹tzlich, wie aus einem Hinterhalt, auf ihn gest羹rzt und ihn zu einem Zweikampf herausgefordert. Es war ein unfairer Kampf. Denn dieses selbe Leben hatte ihn in keiner Weise mit den Waffen ausger羹stet, die n繹tig waren, um in ihm siegen zu k繹nnen, weder mit der n繹tigen Robustizit瓣t der Nerven, noch mit der bewu?ten Elefantenhaut. Nobel bis in die letzte Ader tat er das Einzige, was ihm zu tun unter solchen Umst瓣nden 羹brig blieb: er gab sich von vornherein 羹berwunden. Er verlie? den Kampfplatz - und betrat ihn hinfort nicht mehr. Was anders sollte und konnte er tun?..." John Henry Mackay (1864-1933) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller. Im Jahre 1885 trat Mackay erstmals mit literarischen Werken an die ?ffentlichkeit. In Berlin verkehrte er im Umfeld des Friedrichshagener Dichterkreises. Mit Hilfe von Krafft-Ebings Psychopathia sexualis wurde er sich seiner homosexuell-p瓣derastischen Neigung bewusst. Er pr瓣sentierte seine Konzeption des individualistischen Anarchismus in den "B羹chern der Freiheit" (Die Anarchisten, Der Freiheitsucher).
No Names
Inspired by the iconic punk scene of the late '70s, No Names blurs the lines of affection and sexuality in a haunting tale of desire, hope, and loss. Mike and Pete were "no names," two working-class boys lost in the shuffle of their stratified town, brought together by their love of music. By 1978, their punk band was blazing across the underground scene. Now, in 1993, Mike is a hermit living alone on a dot of an island in the North Atlantic. When a mysterious letter from an unlikely fan named Isaac arrives, he's pulled right back into the pain he's spent over a decade running from. Isaac longs for an escape from his lonely teenage life. A chance discovery of the No Names' only album catapults him into an obsession with the godlike rockers and the tantalizing possibility of connection. As their stories collide, mistakes breed consequences that echo through the decades like the furious reverberations of a power chord.
