Navy Blue Dreams

Rating:
Summary: Great installment in this series!
Review: Altho not as edgey as Foolish Fire and Mirrors of Narcissus, Tom Boggs does it again with this latest installment in the Guy Willard line-up.

In this novel, Guy has joined the Navy. The story takes us thru a 2-year period while he's in, including boot camp, school, and a dozen ports-of-call throughout the Far East. At each port, Guy finds someone with whom to...you know. We watch his character develop with each trick--finally to the point where he's no longer so closeted with himself. When he discovers the secret cadre of other gay men on board his frigate, he's overjoyed, but also eventually becomes targeted by a superior who's not out, but likes to watch.

I can't tell you how this all ends up, but let's say that Guy is now so far out of the closet that he can't easily go back in. Our anti-hero has developed past the previous traits that have held him back. Imagine that, all while in the Navy!

This novel culled my own memories of when I was in the Marines, and while on maneuvers onboard Navy ships. Sadly, few of my experiences were anywhere near as colorful as Guy's.

I highly recommend this story to those who also enjoyed Foolish Fire and Mirrors of Narcissus.

Summary: Navy Blue Dreams
Review: I agree with the previous reviewer, Navy Blue Dreams is a well written, interesting erotic novel. But I do think it would be appropriate to state somewhere that this is a reprint of A Sailor's Pillow Tales, published in 1992 by FirstHand Books, with only the title changed. Although I am glad that the story is available again for new readers to enjoy, I ordered this title as a gift for a friend that I know enjoys Guy Willard's writing and was chagrined to learn from him that it was not new material.
