Overview

A thrilling, rock-n-roll head-banger of a debut, steeped in '80s music culture nostalgia and international suspense. As intensely gripping as it is raucously funny!

Rikki soon realizes there is a deeper web of influence propelling Whyte Python, and his mission-to spread peace, love, and epic shredding across the globe-are far more dangerous than he could ever imagine...
