His name is Derek Harrisford. Many years ago, he had a hit song that briefly pushed him into the limelight. Now he's all but forgotten, a man who few remember. But then, one night, everything changes.
In an instant, people all over the world forget how to play music. Nobody can pick out a tune on a guitar, or sing a song, or hum, or even remember how music sounded. Only a few people have any musical ability left, and even they are rapidly running out. And Derek is one of those people.
As the lack of music drives the world crazy, Derek is forced to flee his home. He soon discovers the shocking truth about what has happened, and about the strange creatures that have come to steal every last note. Before he can even try to save the day, however, Derek discovers that he's being pursued. As a man who can still play a few notes on the guitar, he's in high demand. And one of the world's richest men will stop at nothing to make him perform.
The Music Man is a tale of horror and science-fiction, about a world that can't survive without music, and about a man who might just be able to save human civilization from collapse.
Genre: Science Fiction
