The One Minute Music Book Club: Rock Star Echoes by Zach Taylor

It is very hard to write a novel set in the music industry because authors often struggle with authenticity and getting the facts right, so when a new such book comes along, I’m eager to read it.

Rock Star Echoes by Zach Taylor involves a suddenly frontman-less band called Aberdeen, sending the group into a downward spiral while they struggle to fulfill contractual obligations. Can they fix things?

By the way, Taylor is an actual rocket scientist, a NASA employee working on human spaceflight.
