Description
When heavy metal legend and accidental national treasure Geordie Selwyn wakes up in a luxurious remote country house after disgracing himself at the high profile Rockline music festival he doesn't know if he's just in rehab again or if he's in big big trouble.
He escapes with the help of Terry MacDonald, sole survivor of the RockCastle Festival Disaster, a tragedy that killed Terry's friends at the start of the 1990s. The only thing is, everyone thinks that Terry is dead as well, and the lad looks exactly the same as he did on the day they all set off to the festival to see their rock heroes, "L.A.'s most dangerous band" Angel City.
Who has been holding Geordie and Terry? Was the same powerful force behind Angel City's meteoric rise to fame after the RockCastle disaster? Will Geordie and Terry be able to save the future of rock music from their deadly extra-terrestrial menace before it's too late?
Rich with period detail and a colourful cast of unforgettable characters, Appetite For Corruption travels from the gritty underground rock scene in 1970's Northern England to the billion dollar corporate rock festivals of the 21st century by way of the hard-rocking sleaze-fest that was Hollywood's famous Sunset Strip in the early 1990's.

"funny, surreal and impossible to put down"
