Review - Lazarus, Home from the War by E. H. Lupton

My rating:

Lazarus has returned home from the war in Southeast Asia and is trying to get used to civilian life. It isn’t easy, since he has what we now call post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It gives him flashbacks that can result in blackouts. The episodes come at some of the most inconvenient times, like when he meets an interesting man in a convenience store. As a neurologist, Eli recognizes Laz’s condition.

Review - Troth by E. H. Lupton

My rating:

Sam and Ulysses have taken their relationship to the next step by renting an apartment and moving in together. Things are far from settled, though, as Sam continues to attract unwanted attention from both government agents and the remnants of his grandfather’s team of scientists who were trying to create demigods. To complicate things, Ulysses’ brother Lazarus is back from service in Vietnam, and clearly has his own issues to deal with.

Review - Old Time Religion by E. H. Lupton

My rating:

Months after Ulysses kept Sam from being taken over by the god Dionysus, the two men are still sorting things out. Sam may not be a god, but he’s not entirely human any more either. The pair still have feelings for each other, but aren’t sure where it’s going. It doesn’t make things any easier when Ulysses’ ex-girlfriend shows up seeking his help with her dead husband. It all forces Sam and Ulysses to take another look at the machinations of Sam’s grandfather.

Review - Dionysus in Wisconsin by E. H. Lupton

My rating:

Ulysses talks to ghosts. Well, actually, they seem to do most of the talking. He can sense the mood of buildings, too. Ulysses also tries to help those magic users whose powers have made them a little less capable of dealing with life's little challenges. It's one of these friends who first warns Ulysses that ”Dionysus is coming” just before disappearing. It's never a good thing when one of the gods returns to earth, so Ulysses manages to find a man called Dionysus, although he prefers to go by Sam.
