About this ebook
It's summer 1984, and a lonely rock star desperate for a more normal life battles against the forces inside and outside the band that stand in his way
Jack St James, lead singer and songwriter for hard rock band Pirate, is not your average rock star. The boys in the band may be thrilled with the rock star lifestyle, but control freak Jack doesn't do drugs and can't stand to be touched. After four years of non-stop touring and recording, he's had it with the loneliness and monotony of life on the road.
His dream life is now within reach – retiring to an estate in the English countryside, making a family, and playing music for fun – but only if the band makes it through the next ten days of their sold-out American tour with no major hiccups. Then he can escape the record company and have enough money to make his dream come true.
Jack soon discovers that everyone, consciously or unconsciously, is out to foil him: his duplicitous manager (and best friend) Dunk who wants the band to keep going, the lead and bass guitarists rebelling against his iron control, a conniving and coked-up record company executive, and a beautiful and infamous groupie sowing discord within the band. Not to mention a whiny and incompetent tour bus driver named Mick.
As they each discover in turn, Jack is not one to take anyone's shenanigans lying down. Jack's blood is up and the game is on.
"If you've ever wanted to be, or be with, a rock star or play in a rock band, this book is for you." —Dunk MacGregor, Pirate's forthright and honorable manager

E.Z. Prine
E.Z. (“Easy”) Prine writes about the escapades of Pirate, a fictional eighties hard rock band out of Manchester, England. The Beatles’ appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 sparked what has become E.Z.’s lifelong devotion to “classic rock” and fascination with those luminaries we call rock stars. The Pirate series is E.Z.’s love letter to rock ’n’ roll and personal thank you to all the artists and supporting others who brought this amazing contribution to our world. May we always rock on.
