Saving the World is Deadly Business, But Someone Had To Do It

Publication date set for "Tom Brown Saves the World," the new novel by the author of "200 Beats per Minute," Eddie Beverage.

(PRWEB) February 14, 2005 -- Humans spend more time consuming than all other earthly pursuits combined, and this disturbing trend reaches far beyond products and services to celebrity, gossip, myth and dogma, the bait of a modern identity cult determined to homogenize culture everywhere. The new novel "Tom Brown Saves the World" by author Eddie Beverage examines this phenomenon from the viewpoint of an everyman obsessed with becoming a rock star.

Following a snowboarding accident, Tom Brown finds himself in a strange alternate reality where hes recruited by a group of queer punks on a nationwide tour. Faster than Tom can say "boy band," hes sharing a cramped van, shooting a low budget video and rocking every drag bar in sight. Super-stardom isnt exactly what he imagined. Pursued by mysterious men in black and accompanied by the most dysfunctional road crew ever assembled, Tom must discover his true destiny as the band roars into New York City for its final gig on National Free Thought Day.

Eddie Beverage is also the author of 200 Beats per Minute (Sure Shot Publishing, 1998). Im thrilled to have a mouthpiece in Tom Brown that allows me to say exactly what I want to say about the state of the world, and America in particular," says Beverage. Besides that, I couldnt imagine having any more fun writing a novel. It was a blast."    

A nationwide publication date has been set for August 1, 2005. Pre-sale orders are now being accepted at http://www.tombrownsavestheworld.com. The author hosts a web site at http://www.eddiebeverage.com.
