In this new collection of stories, Andrew McDiarmid continues to explore the relationships of leather clad men and smoke filled rooms that he explored in "SMOKE." Each of the new adventures shows that no matter where we are in the world, no matter our heritage or past, being a leatherman makes us part of a unique community. McDiarmid mixes real life adventures with a touch of science fiction in his exploration of the leather lifestyle. Whether we are Brethren who live for hundreds of years, or submissives getting our first introduction to ash, and smoke, there are always new adventures waiting around every corner. At every turn, we discover that this community we call home, has many other communities within yet to be discovered. "THE GIFT" explores the relationship between two men being taken to the next level. "ASH" explores the intensity of a dungeon scene when time looses meaning and serving another becomes the only focus. "INTRODUCTION" explores meeting men on the internet and the pleasures that can be found there with a little patience. From the characters from "HUNT," which was included in "SMOKE," comes a new adventure of time travel and finding love in new places when you least expect it. "BRETHREN," the main chapter of this new collection of writing, explores three centuries of lost love, the intimacy of lust, and the joy of a new beginning.
