Rainbow ARC of Fire Harmony of Spheres — Gregory Sanchez

Rainbow Arc of Fire, Denver's extraordinary series of GLBT fantasy/adventure novels, written by Colordo author Gregory Earl Sanchez, concludes its initial phase with the release of book six, the purple volume: Harmony of Spheres.

It's the spring of 1996, and Greg, Paul, Joan, Marina, Joseph, and William, the main characters whom readers have come to know intimately in the previous five volumes--A Mile-High Saga, Autumn Saga, Souls Within Stone, Worlds Beneath Us, and Slight of Mind--are eagerly awaiting the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the controversial Colorado ballot initiative, Amendment 2.

Regardless of how the nine justices will rule, the six are planning a joint commitment ceremony, intending to invite their families and closest friends to celebrate with them.

Their plans are interrupted, however, when the entire planet is threatened by a deadly menace from outer space. These powerful gay and lesbian pagans may succeed in saving the Earth, but only if they can discover a practical means to reach the threat in time and then safely return, no small feat even for them.

As readers have come to expect with the earlier volumes, amid the danger and the chaos, this exciting novel also addresses several thought-provoking issues such as gay marriage, outing, the price of publicity, the importance of self-acceptance, and the intense burden faced by heroes in contemporary America, especially if they happen to be gay and lesbian.

Written in the spring of 1996, nearly a year before the arrival of comet Hale-Bopp, and two years before the films Deep Impact and Armageddon, Rainbow Arc of Fire: Harmony of Spheres seeks to answer two questions: What if our planet were in mortal danger but the potential rescuers were gay and pagan rather than straight and Christian? How would governments and individuals all over the Earth react if many of us were firmly convinced that the world as we know it will not survive?
