"A raucous satirical thriller narrated by Rikki Thunder - drummer for the world-famous 1980s heavy metal band Whyte Python - who is unwittingly lured into an elaborate government plot to bring down the Eastern Bloc"--

"It's Los Angeles, 1986, and metal rules the world. For aspiring drummer Rikki Thunder, life is beautiful, just like his hair--even if he is sleeping in a condemned paint store and playing with a band that's going nowhere. But when Rikki gets a shot to join L.A.'s hottest up-and-coming club band, Whyte Python, his young life takes a mind-blowing turn. Soon he and his new band mates have a hit single rocketing up the charts, Whyte Python is selling out major clubs, and Rikki has a gorgeous girlfriend in the audience and in his life. He literally could not ask for anything more. But good fortune can be deceiving. As the band gets a deeper taste of success in the US, the late-80's Cold War is breathing its last gasps around the world. American music is blasting through the Iron Curtain and a youth revolution is taking hold--with a hair band unknowingly playing host to the final battle for the hearts and minds of young people everywhere. Rikki Thunder soon questions the forces that are helping to propel Whyte Python, and he realizes the stakes of his musical journey--to spread peace, love, and epic shredding across the globe--might be far more dangerous than he had ever imagined." --
