The Story
Othello is a black pop star who wants to start his own gay rights revolution. Raider is a straight white FBI agent who goes undercover to bust up the “gay goodfellas.”
A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, from the mansions of the Hollywood Hills to the casinos of Atlantic City, from the NBA playoffs to the back roads of the Deep South.
Which side will you be on?
Provocative, suspenseful, and thought-provoking, Uprising is a political thriller that explores celebrity, activism, power, loyalty, and the human cost of social change — and the only Randy Boyd novel to receive two Lambda Literary Award nominations in the same year.
What Reviewers Said
“A provocative compelling 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
“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.”
— The Blade Newsmagazine
“A striking, exciting and thought-provoking thriller.”
— Zenger’s Magazine
“I hope Randy Boyd’s rowdy political thriller is flattered by much imitation, since it’s one of the best adventure reads I’ve encountered in many a year.”
— Richard LaBonté, Q Syndicate Bookmarks
