Product Description
The Home Secretary of the UK decides to recruit a Countercultural Think Tank of pop stars in order to make the government look too cool to be overthrown. It's just another publicity stunt for the rockers, until the shooting begins. Now, Slater and her friends must find a way to stay alive, and overthrow the dominant social order, while the UK disintegrates under their feet. Will rock & roll's revolutionary promise finally deliver, or will ethnic violence drown hippie idealism in rivers of blood? Either way, the world will never be the same.

This is another of those 'how the h*ll did she think of this books'?
On the face of it, you might think it would be either a) ludicrous, or b) inordinately soppy.
It ain't either. I don't know how Jones did it, but she did. Even escapes nicking Hendrix' titles.
In a little bit in the future England, things are falling apart. So much so that the musical counterculture again has political clout, and so much so that a rockstar of the violent bent stages a coup.
That does not end well, and this brings to the fore the classic Arthurian trio of Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot.
Or, in this case, Ax Preston (got to have a guitar player, right?), Fiorinda Slater, and Sage Pender.
With a severe energy crisis looming, and a fractured country and war with the muslims coming, and the standard government completely useless these three must try and use their musical and other talents to get everyone through.
With the decline of most technology, the rise of just that bit of mystical power is coming.
