Satan's Legions A coming-of-age adventure and a gay love story in three volumes. Book 3: Mercy In the final book in the Satan's Legions trilogy, Robert Crittenden is torn away from Jack Moseley by his fanatically religious parents, who see him as possessed by the demon of homosexuality. He and his friend Noah Marshall are kidnapped and taken to a 'treatment centre' in the Russian Federation with ten other Swanford boys. Together they must confront their vindictive new masters and meet new challenges and dangers as they head towards the icy depths of a Russian winter. Meanwhile, in Swanford, the ruthless John Henderson and his servile bunch of acolytes have seized the town in a grip of iron. Fear and oppression abound, lives are threatened and many give in to the siren call of bigotry and prejudice fostered by the government in London. As the new orthodoxy begins to seep into everyday life, it will be up to a small group of friends - led by Jack and his brother Dan - to seize the initiative from the politicians and religious zealots and mount a daring rescue of Robert and Noah. But malevolent eyes are already watching and waiting for them to put their plan into action. And so it turns into a race against time: a race against the forces of nature, and a race against their pitiless enemies. In the chilling climax to the story, the boys come face to face with the stark reality of death and Jack himself must decide between vengeance and mercy guided only by the power of love and friendship.
