From #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin comes the ultimate novel of revolution, rock 'n' roll, and apocalyptic murder--a stunning work of fiction that portrays not just the end of an era, but the end of the world as we know it.
Onetime underground journalist Sandy Blair has come a long way from his radical roots in the '60s--until something unexpectedly draws him back: the bizarre and brutal murder of a rock promoter who made millions with a band called the Nazgul. Now, as Sandy sets out to investigate the crime, he finds himself drawn back into his own past--a magical mystery tour of the pent-up passions of his generation. For a new messiah has resurrected the Nazgul and the mad new rhythm may be more than anyone bargained for--a requiem of demonism, mind control, and death, whose apocalyptic tune only Sandy may be able to change in time . . . before everyone follows the beat.

"Daring . . . a knowing, wistful appraisal of . . . a crucial American generation."--Chicago Sun-Times

The Armageddon Rag
Одна из наиболее интересных работ Мартина из времён, предшествовавших Игре престолов. Книга как бы поделена на две части: сначала читатель погружается в расследование событий давних лет, а затем у читателя вместе с главным героем начинается приключение по возрождению музыкальной группы. Книга навевает ностальгию по 60-м и создаёт впечатление абсолютной реальности происходящего в ней за счёт того, что Мартин уделяет большое внимание деталям.
