Jordan Allen Wallace is anything but your typical NYU sophomore. A veteran, Jordan’s obsessive focus on his academics, coupled with a physical appearance that often cause people to mistake him as a female sets him apart from his fellow students. With the exception of his sister Emma, he has no friends to speak of and little in the way of a social life. That changes when Emma’s boyfriend Conner, an FBI agent, imposes upon her hospitality by bringing along a friend to enjoy an afternoon at Emma’s watching football. Recalling a prank she and Jordan had once played, Emma decides to extract a bit of revenge on Conner by talking Jordan into helping her ‘even up’ the sides.
What starts as a prank turns into something serious when Conner seizes upon Jordan’s unique qualities to help him solve a problem that has the Bureau stymied. While Jordan understands the need to cooperate by informing on a professor at NYU, the role he is asked to play presents him with both opportunities and problems that are, to say the least, unusual.
The man Jordan is to inform on is Dr. Wahab Khalje, who fought the Soviets with the mujahideen before coming to America to study. Khalje’s strident criticism of American foreign policy and his association with men suspected of having connections to al Qaeda makes him a person of interest to the FBI. Repeated failures to slip an informer into Khalje’s circle forces Conner’s superiors to resort to methods that are progressively more desperate and unusual. In Jordan, Conner believes he has found a perfect, if somewhat novel solution.
That solution involves a practice popular among some of Northern Afghanistan’s ruling elite. Known as bacchá, adolescent Afghani males dress as females in order to entertain their master. Like his father, Khalje is fond of the old ways, in particular bacchá. It is this weakness that the FBI hopes to exploit using Jordan.
Step by step, Jordan goes from participating in some innocent fun to being an informer. In the process of adopting a life style that is as foreign as it is repugnant, Jordan finds he must come to terms with his own sexuality and gender. Doing so is difficult as he discovers time and again that he has entered into a world of shadows and lies, a place where neither friend nor lover can be trusted.

You may need to suspend disbelief quite a bit here, but if you can allow yourself this luxury, you may find this novel to be quite interesting, exciting and even titillating. This is a book that at very first glance reminds me of a fictionalized account of "Warrior Princess" where a returning Iraqi/Afghani vet, though not quite a Navy Seal Team Six member, saw quite a fair share of the horrors of war as a medic in the service of his country. The semi-resemblance continues as this gender dysphoric young man, Jordan, is now seemingly suffering from PTSD, as evidenced by his recurrent insomnia, a growing dependence on sleeping pills, the potential for suicidality and some rather poor and impulsive decision making.Jordan has a life-long predilection for all things feminine and like Kristin in the "Warrior Princess," Jordan probably joined the military to prove his manhood, but that is well behind him how, for he is presently a college student with a taste for studying history, a very supportive sister, and an ongoing preoccupation to explore his feminine side. Through events quite serendipitous in nature, while affecting his normal androgynous modality, he happens to meet up with his sister's new flame and, of course, is mistaken for the girl he always wished to be. This friend of the sister happens to have another friend and the four go out on the town with Jordan remaining in girl mode.
I will tell you that these two "dates" happen to be government guys who are on the hunt to uncover the secret activities of a certain NYU history professor, a man of Middle Eastern descent who is alleged to be recruiting unsuspecting and idealistically naive folks from the student body, converting them to his brand of Islam and then apparently on to matters quite nefarious. This Svengali-like prof also has a taste for young effeminate males who just happen to cross dress.
Enter the easily malleable Jordan, who quickly has become a sometimes bumbling operative for a joint FBI/CIA counterintelligence venture. However, when our gender variant protagonist meets this super charismatic charmer, sexual sparks fly and we have the makings of some pretty good BDSM stuff, as Jordan, after some serious enculturation "lessons" that include drugging, dons native Afghani dancing girl garb, merging with his new identity and plummeting perhaps a bit too far down this clandestine rabbit hole. But then again, with Jordan, a soul who is searching for her true gender and sexuality, sparks are flying for a couple of others, too and she is very, very confused about many, many things.
About the typos. Forget about 'em. I expect them in these self-published, yet often very entertaining books.

Dance of the Baccha edition by HW Coyle Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This book messed with my head more than most. I can't explain or understand why it did. All I can do is hope and wait for a second Baccha book.
This started and continued with a very good story line. The story is written well. My main complaint is the ending. Way to many lines left hanging. I like a story with an ending or at least with a potential for a second book, neither happen here.
This book is actually a thriller, as much as a transgender type of story. It is quite exciting, though at the very end, it disappoints. This is because the main character goes against her principles. But until those last few pages, I would have rated the story a '5'. I actually feel the author should re-write the ending.
Unfortunately, the book is also marred by an amazing collection of typos. Considering there were 5000 kindle pages, there were probably over 10,000 typos. Constant misuse of 'then' for 'than', 'loose' for 'lose' as well as some howlers and other confusions which made parts difficult to understand. The book needs a spell checker but also a grammar checker and a close proofread. I have read other books by Nancy Cole which have not had as many errors. She tends to write tg fiction that verges on horror and tend to be very exciting. I think with some revisions and corrections, this book could be another 5-star effort.
