The latest in the series of Mickey Erlach anthologies that continues the tradition of John Patrick. Everyone has heard of the casting couch.

This short story made me think. It isn’t your usual m/m story, and doesn’t fit the anthology description – not exactly, at least. And that was what made it so interesting to me.
In a way it does talk about Darren getting ahead, but he doesn’t do it by pushing his way onto the career ladder. Rather, he attracts Rob’s attention, and Rob ends up helping him figure a few things out – because that is who Rob is. The lesson is hard for Darren, because Rob ends up leaving to pursue his own career goals. But that, also, is who Rob is.
I did struggle with the fact that there isn’t a happy ending – but in the end, both characters are true to their nature, the story is very realistic and will stay with me much longer than many others I have read. A very nice surprise!
DISCLAIMER: I have not read any of the other stories, since this one was supplied by the author for the purpose of a review.
