Description
Gay Teens Save the World
In a society that says only straight people can be action stars and romantic leads, Gay teens rarely get the chance to see themselves as the heroes of their favorite stories. Author Lee Wind knows how much that sucks, having felt it himself as a closeted Gay teen.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF ENEMY is a Gay teen action-adventure romance where rookie spies Sam and Nico race save the world from the threat of alien invasion—while at the same time fighting to save their own relationship.
This Queer homage to and critique of James Bond movies will help redefine what being a hero can look like. Read Sam and Nico’s next adventure and feel like you can save the world and get the guy (even if you’re a guy) too!

Advance Praise
“Queer teens reprise their James Bond–inspired hijinks.… The Bond references and cool gadgetry abound in this fast-paced sequel.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A resonant thriller that’s full of thrills and sensuality, A Different Kind of Enemy frames a young romance through beloved spy films.” —Foreword Reviews
“This is the book series I wish had been around when I was a teenager.… Whatever your age, if this ever-changing world in which we’re livin’ makes you give in and cry, pick up this reminder of queer joy.” —David Lowbridge-Ellis, MBE, Licence to Queer
“A delightful page-turner that combines world-ending events and the possible detonation of teenage superheroes Nico and Sam’s young marriage, courtesy of stunning secrets, temptations, and betrayals.… James Bond for a new generation.” —Lyn Miller-Lachmann, author of Torch
“Nails that balance of capable-and-badass with vulnerable-and-human, especially as Nico and Sam stumble through miscommunication and the stuff they haven’t learned how to say out loud yet—until they finally have the conversation they need to have.” —Jeff Adams, author of the Codename: Winger series
“An imaginative twist on the classic spy novel. What if James Bond was an American? Married? A teenager? And gay? How would that affect his mission to save the world from a mysterious threat from outer space?” —Kathryn Hall, reviewer for Jewish Book Garden
