Zack

Rome, AD 108. What, or who is the mysterious Satyr of Capri? Rare statue, man, or monster? Why do danger and death stalk all who are connected with the elusive secret? The story follows new friends and lovers Quintus and Rufio who are unwittingly embroiled in the quest for the truth. From the mansions of the rich to the teeming underbelly of the world’s mightiest city, braving the violence and tasting the endless sensuous pleasures thrown at them, the boys risk all to unravel the secret of the Satyr.
If you like a bit of toga ripping, temple orgy, Latin boy banging, classical pillar peeping action then Satyr is the perfect holiday book of choice.  It reminded me of a Nancy Drew Mysteries but more Gay Pulp Hard-On Boys than Hardy Boys and set in the classical capital of the Roman Empire heaving with fit, energetic lads and huge sexy men trying to sort out their feelings for each other while mysterious, sexual and possibly monstrously supernatural things are occurring, or is all quite what it seems…..
Plunge into the world of Imperial Rome where debauchery, cruelty, envy and greed, grisly legends and disaster beneath the cliffs of Capri are everyday events. The plot is heaving with undercover deals and urban gang warfare which all combines to a hot, erotic charged anachronistic roller coaster ride bursting with sex and action.

Zack is better known for his explicit gay comic strips from the seventies, inspired by his very own erotic fantasies. Zack designed numberless comic strips for British magazines like HIM, Vulcan, and Teenage Dream. These books, although with only a few small illustrations continue his established tradition of never leaving a sexy scene unexploited, a hot scene unexplored and a toga un-lifted.  The Satyr of Capri follows on and is set in the same place and time as his previous book Deadly Circus of Desire: Boys of Imperial Rome, if you read that, you’ll love this and for some laid back one-handed reading Zack delivers the necessary charge page after page and there’s a lot of them in this 319 page adventure. The historical setting is recognisable although more Smutty Spartacus than British Museum but hey, this ain’t the Time Team so relax and enjoy this new gay pulp offering from this erotically charged author.
