“This astonishing novel presents the gospels of a rock savior, in allusive biblical style.”

- booklife by Publisher’s Weekly

What if future humans look back at our culture and believe that a rock star was the savior who brought peace and harmony to our world through music?

Peter Star, Rock of Souls, sets out on an epic journey to unify people with songs that celebrate the beauty of life. Gifted to the universe by God, Peter Star embodies all races and genders as they forge a mellifluous path that attempts to redeem a society divided by the politics of equal rights and obsessed with the powers of sex and violence. Together with their devilish guide Major Tom, loyal companions the West Brothers, and unfettered lover Lady Madonna, Peter Star unfurls their lyrical ministry while feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and fighting for social justice in a landscape ravaged by war and decadence.

As whimsical and layered as they are innocent, Peter Star advocates for those lost in the shadows while confronting the privileged few who flourish in the light. To spread their divine mission, they must carry the weight of Heaven in their soul or risk eternal damnation. They must believe in love after life.
