Blind Fall
Author: Christopher Rice
From three-time New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice -- whose novels have been called "bold and ambitious" by The New York Times, "chillingly perverse" by USA Today, and "shocking, sexy...intricate" by Glamour -- comes this startling psychological thriller about an Iraq W...  more »

John Houck became a Marine to become a hero. But his life changed when he failed to notice an explosive device that ended up maiming the captain of his Force Recon Company, a respected Marine who nearly sacrificed himself to save John's life.

Home from Iraq, John pays a visit to his former captain, only to discover the captain has been gruesomely murdered. John pursues a strange man he sees running from the scene, but he discovers that Alex Martin is not the murderer. Alex is, in fact, the former captain's secret male lover and the killer's intended next victim.

When it becomes clear that local law enforcement has direct connections to the murder itself, John realizes that to repay his debt of honor, he must teach Alex Martin how to protect himself, even if that means teaching Alex to kill. In the process, John confronts the painful truth about the younger brother he was unable to protect and the older sister he always felt he failed.

Blind Fall is a story of honor and integrity, of turning failure into victory. It is a stunning departure for Christopher Rice: the story of two men, one a Marine, one gay, who must unite to avenge the death of the man they both loved -- one as a brother-in-arms, one as a lover -- and to survive.

I felt that this is one book by Christopher Rice that was just as good as the rest of his stories. In this book topics not so much oriented around a 'gay relationship' in the present. More so about learning to accept people and much suspense and thrill as the rest of Christopher Rice's books full of twists and turns. Loyalty of friendship and homophobia as is seen in the days of today, as well as self discovery. I felt as I read that I did not ever know what was going to happen next. As I said it touched a lot on homophobic issues, the military, and many other subjects one may find not otherwise spoken of in a Gay Mans Life. The truth and more not so glamorous side of being a gay couple in a small town.

Somewhat disappointing after having read his previous three books.
