Hoppa and Other Stories [Kindle Edition]

Marten Weber (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This is a collection of ten stories with a common subject of chance encounters between men from different backgrounds; men who meet for passionate, often hurried embraces that have long-lasting consequences; sexual encounters which change their lives forever.

We meet high-powered executives falling in love with Spanish rugby players at Heathrow airport; German bankers who find their lives turned upside down by Russian brothel owners, or lust after Chinese basketball stars; American hustlers who fall for airline captains; an army IT specialist whose libido has a profound influence on a group of adolescent athletes; a French executive on his morning train to Paris, disturbed by the image of a sleeping soldier, and many more.

Some of these stories have been published before in magazines and on websites. Here are some reader reactions:

"Men from different cultures, social spheres, and languages, brought together by pure chance, through the power of love and lust -- Exhilarating!"
"You made me laugh, cry, and excited at the same time!"
"Absolutely fantastic writing for a global age. I fell in love with every one of your characters."

More About the Author

Marten Weber is of mixed parentage (a man and a woman) and has lived in more countries than he can count on hands and feet together. He speaks several languages, and believes in multiculturalism, tolerance, and free champagne also in economy class.

He dislikes bigots and fanatics of all denominations. He is hugely uncomfortable with labels, even seemingly benign ones such as 'gay,' 'straight,' or 'sugar-free' and prefers instead to judge people by their sense of humor and shoe size. He believes that everybody, regardless of race or gender, should be gay for a year.

Marten Weber has published hundreds of stories and novellas and set them free on the Internet. Some of them have mated with other texts, music and videos, to produce the most curious offspring. One story has left the known universe and is currently a best-seller on Pharus II.

4.0 out of 5 stars Erotica with Class, September 17, 2010

This review is from: Hoppa and Other Stories (Kindle Edition)

This collection of stories is diverse but often linked by commonality in one of the characters.

Notable for the quality of the writing, the work is gay-erotic, and has a vivid international flavour (in terms of both locale and character) that rings true and one suspects is drawn from the author's direct experience. Indeed, one might speculate that the linking persona is the author himself.

Raising the tone of the stories are the author's sharp powers of observation, and the attention given to the motivations of the characters.

A pleasurable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! Well written erotic gay fiction..., August 28, 2010

By 

REBinNYC - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hoppa and Other Stories (Kindle Edition)

This compilation of stories is amazing! The author's imagination seems to be without limits and the reader is given protagonists that are believable and situations that are steamy hot. Mr. Weber has somehow reached the perfect balance between fascinating prose and one handed, breathless eroticism! I hope he decides to write more like this.

This review is from: Hoppa and Other Stories (Kindle Edition)

Hoppa is a spell binding work of erotica that is engaging and exhilerating. The writing pulls the reader into the character as a dominating man finds love for, maybe, the first time. The story will leave you wanting more from this amazingly engaging author.
