Marquesate is a British author who has been associated with the British Forces for many years, and who specialises in brutally realistic contemporary military gay erotic fiction. Marquesate's fiction always carries a punch with its a distinctive style, its emphasis on plot, and literary merits far beyond erotica.
Using the insider knowledge of the 'bowels' of the military machinery and the insight into the soldiers' minds and modes of functioning, Marquesate creates realistic settings, situations and characters who are simultaneously down to earth and larger than life. Those men are strong, aggressive, tough and independent, and it is their determination and truthfulness to themselves and their comrades in arms, that becomes their saviour and their downfall.
These soldiers are grounded in their military context and thrown into a maelstrom of duty, comradeship, hostility, courage, loyalty and lust, to emerge scarred, battle-hardened and touched at the very core of their selves - by another man, another soldier, an enemy, a friend, a foe or an ally.
'Never the twain shall meet', is not a dictum Marquesate adheres to. Those men do meet despite cross fire, friendly fire and violence, through the ranks, and across all the frontlines dividing their world. Enemy mine and brothers in arms.
Steeped in lust, no-holds barred, often sweaty, hard, brutal and aggressive, Marquesate writes love stories in a military setting. They are gritty, tough and gripping, often full of pain and hatred, but also full of courage, loyalty and determination. Above all, there is always love. In all its manifestations and however impossible it may seem.
Her Majesty's Men is the story of two soldiers in the British Forces and of a friendship taking unexpected turns. In the eyes of the Army they are just two mates who are close. But from the revelation of personal secrets, ensuing hatred and aggression, through terror and danger, to loyalty, triumphant strength and courage, grows their own realisation of what they are: comrades first and foremost, but something else too, something more significant.
The two Royal Engineers, Sgt Tom Warren and SSgt Alex Turner, learn to understand the real meaning of loyalty and strength. Their fight for survival cuts through all the discipline and rules, to tie them together in a unique bond of companionship and trust.
Her Majesty's Men is available in paperback and for download directly from the printer: http://www.lulu.com/content/5055168 and on all Amazon sites.
