In "Man Walks into a Pub, " Pete Brown takes us on a journey through the amazing history of beer, from the first sacred sip of ancient Egyptian bouza to the last pint of lager on a Friday night. It s an extraordinary tale of yeast-obsessed monks and teetotaling prime ministers; of exploding breweries, a bear in a yellow nylon jacket, and a Canadian who changed the drinking habits of a nation. It s also the story of the rise of the British pub, from humble origins through an epic, thousand-year struggle to survive bad government and misguided commerce."

Steve should have said "No" to Dave, that day he came up with his devil's offer. But Steve was so eager to get out of prison - get out from under a life sentence without the possibility of parole - he stupidly agreed to do whatever Dave wanted...not realizing what Dave wanted was to give him as a gift to the son of a Middle-Eastern Ruler.

Steve's gay and his first job is to learn how to be a slave...

When "Steve" woke up that morning, he was naked in a bed he'd never been in before. He couldn't remember where he was or what he'd done, but it didn't take him long to realize it was no more London, no more job, no more rugby matches, no more women and no more freedom to do as he damn well wanted. A big, buff, heterosexual guy used to living his own life, he'd been "taken" to fulfill an order by a "collector of beautiful young men" and would have to learn to do as he was ordered - or else...even if it meant allowing his new owner - or anyone of authority in the man's employ - to abuse him and...
