A rousing story of adventure on the high seas, Naked Launch: Book Two picks up the intertwined stories of Alan Steele, Malcolm Lowe and Henry Morgan where Book One leaves off.Now mature and toughened men who met as callow youths looking for adventure and the chance to make their fortunes, Alan and Malcolm are infamous masters of their own pirate ship while Henry has chosen a more conventional path but still loves and respects his old friends. Alan and Malcolm command a ship crewed by gay pirates who work, eat, sleep and love naked as nature intended while waging war on puritanical Spanish traders and plantation owners.Equal parts 17th-century adventure tale and sly utopian fantasy, Naked Launch: Book Two is a captivating mix of historical drama and sultry romance, rendered with meticulous attention to period detail.

In book one of this classic gay pirate historical, originally published in the 1970s, the young Englishman Alan Steele yearns for adventure and a seafaring life. Even if the reality doesn't quite match up to his fantasies, there's still plenty of romance, danger and the tantalizing promise of wealth for a young man willing to take risks.From Bristol, England to Spanish plantations in the Caribbean, Alan and his new friends Henry, Malcolm and Morgan go from cabin boys to captains packing lifetimes full of love, sex, injustice and rebellion into a few years, emerging tough-yet still tender-men who know what (and who) they want.Pirates of the Caribbean has nothing on this rollicking novel of young men and the sea!
