Summary
“Music is the only thing in my life that has never let me down. The only thing that has been consistently there for me.”
It’s 1975, and The Kings’ Men are one of the biggest bands on the planet - a juggernaut of hit rock songs, in the midst of a marathon North American tour, and more money and groupies than sense. But lead guitarist Kevin Day has severely injured his hand in a skiing accident, and Jeremy Knox has received the call up to replace him for the remaining tour leg. For an artist who has been trying to make it solo, it’s a dream come true.
Bassist Jean Moreau is angry, and withdrawn, but he and Jeremy click quickly, and as the tension between them grows, a different kind of tension is also brewing within The Kings’ Men. And when the curtain calls time, will they all go home alive?

Summary
“I write music for myself, as the best way I can express myself. I share it so none of us are alone.”
It’s 1976 - The Kings’ Men have been broken up for over a year, and Jeremy and his band Odysseys have rocketed into stardom with their debut album. But on the eve of a massive North American tour in support of the record, Odysseys find themselves minus a lead guitarist and Evermore Records are insistent on one particular replacement - Jean Moreau. But first, Jeremy has to get him to agree to it after everything that went down in ‘75.
Being back on the road together brings feelings between Jeremy and Jean surging back, but they also have to contend with a new tour manager who is Jean’s living nightmare, Kevin Day’s new band supporting them, and Jeremy’s past - not to mention the truth about what really happened in ‘75.
As they say - there’s never a dull day in rock ‘n’ roll.

Summary
It’s 1977 - the zenith of the era of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Zep and The Stones rule the radio waves, and if the riffs aren’t big and the bell-bottoms aren’t wide, then you probably don’t belong here. After a short break for the holidays and off the back of the blistering success of their first North American tour, Odysseys and Foxholes are back on the road — and this time they’re off to Europe!
Unfortunately for them all… everything is a disaster.
Manipulated into giving up the only thing he’s ever wanted more than music in order to protect him, Jeremy has relapsed badly, in more ways than one. Riko is finally out from under the watchful eye of his uncle, and is planning to make it everybody else’s problem. And Jean has never been so close to his ancestral home, and yet so far from his heart's home.
But this is a story about finding home. It’s a story about finding home; in friends, in chosen family, in love. It’s a story about finding your way home to what means the most to you, no matter how far you think you’ve wandered off the path. So, once more, let’s rock on!
