Description


Rocker Jimmy Brandt has given up on his dreams. He's settled down in the suburbs with his girlfriend and cat ... until strange forces tempt him back to his former life. Soon he faces a choice between good and evil, and life is so rewarding when you turn to the dark side. Flying high again, Jimmy battles divas, despots, and most of all, himself. Yet the higher you fly, the further you can fall. Only an old, forgotten friend can save him. But does he want to be saved?
Jimmy Brandt is the anti-hero for our times, the one we need.' Beck Hartnell. 'One of the most original novels I've read in years. Brilliantly written, full of surprises and dark comedy.' J.T. McFlynn

A modern version of 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde', this book shows the moral struggles within one man. Jimmy Brandt faces good and evil in various settings - from an ordinary workplace to the decadent life of a rock band on tour, and finally a third world kingdom. Full of humour, plot twists and Jimmy's random raves, 'The Maelstrom Ascendant' is the story of one man's journey through the confusing world of today

Also features a soundtrack album by Australian rock band, Lighthouse XIII, sold separately. See also 'The Vortex Winder.
