Description - The Armageddon Rag by George R. R. Martin

"The best novel concerning the American pop music culture of the sixties I've ever read."-Stephen King

From #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin comes the ultimate novel of revolution, rock 'n' roll, and apocalyptic murder-a stunning work of fiction that portrays not just the end of an era, but the end of the world as we know it.

Onetime underground journalist Sandy Blair has come a long way from his radical roots in the '60s-until something unexpectedly draws him back- the bizarre and brutal murder of a rock promoter who made millions with a band called the Nazg l. Now, as Sandy sets out to investigate the crime, he finds himself drawn back into his own past-a magical mystery tour of the pent-up passions of his generation. For a new messiah has resurrected the Nazg l and the mad new rhythm may be more than anyone bargained for-a requiem of demonism, mind control, and death, whose apocalyptic tune only Sandy may be able to change in time . . . before everyone follows the beat.
