What People are Saying About This

Larry Bailey

I enjoyed the fast pace and well defined characters. Othello, the rock star who mingles with gay organizations disguised as an old man, and Raider, the hunky, straight (?) undercover FBI agent....collide in their own pursuits of justice and love. Uprising is a novel that I couldn¹t put down until I finished it. --(Larry Bailey of The Open Book in Sacramento)

Richard Labonte

I hope Randy Boyd's rowdy political thriller is flattered by much imitation, since it¹s one of the best adventure reads I¹ve encountered in many a year--and certainly the most original.--(Richard Labonte, general manager for A Different Light bookstores SF, NY, LA)

Editorial Reviews

Not only is Uprising thoroughly entertaining as a suspense thriller, [it] deals frankly and directly with some of the most important issues of our age.

Blade Newsmagazine

A provocative and compelling new tome that is decidedly not politically correct. The story, part thriller, part love story, adds up to a morality tale that basically asks the reader: is violence ever justified?

IN Los Angeles Magazine

Flabby dialogue and a predictable plotline prevail, and steamy scenes meant to titillate merely fizzle. Where many novels provide plots and characters, Uprising offers only hope to undertalented writers who wonder if they will ever score a book deal.
