Who says the frontman of a rock and roll band can’t save humanity?
Nearly everyone.
Garton Prog was born three light-years from Earth, in the frigid vacuum of space.
Sure, as the only human in the Alpha Centauri system, he was a big deal when he arrived on the planet Principia, but twenty-some years later? His only life achievements have been growing over seven feet tall, mostly learning the “Hotel California” guitar solo, and befriending a cluster of sentient beings who look like they marched out of a bad biology documentary. Humans are old news.
Garton needs to grow up. So what does he do? Starts a frickin’ rock band.
Just as he’s about to unleash his guitar wizardry on the unsuspecting inhabitants of the planet he calls home, a familiar rumor about another human in the star system yanks the plug on his plans. But this time it’s different. This time he’s got the nearly rock-solid, third-, maybe fourth-hand scoop from one of his new bandmates.
Saving a fellow human is way more rock ‘n’ roll than winning a local battle of the bands.
If Garton can get to the other side of the star system, and navigate the defunct intergalactic pleasure dome overrun by criminal overlords, he just may be able to rescue the only other human around–before the captor’s horrifying experiment shreds humanity.
Hitch a ride to Heavy Metal Moon and see who survives!
