The plot of this odd mixture of sci-fi adventure and heavy metal rock isn't exactly thickening, but it's taking some curious twists. Former rock & roll star Oji Tanaka has somehow sunk into the life of an ordinary, embittered salaryman, with a wife, a son, and a tiny apartment. But he's also the secret weapon in an interstellar war: human-looking aliens use his music to trigger their Ultimate Weapon, the only defense in their arsenal that can destroy the ships of the invading aliens. Tanaka undergoes the rock equivalent of a crisis of faith when he discovers the beautiful agent Layla, who recruited him, is interested in his music only as a weapon and not as an aesthetic experience. He angrily smashes his guitar and walks out, leaving Layla's fleet virtually defenseless. Because of--or despite--the transparent plots of the lovely scientist Hamill, Tanaka is soon back, and playing even more ! furiously. Meanwhile, his increasingly shrewish wife worries t! hat Tana ka's odd behavior will have social repercussions in the company dorm where they live. It all adds up to a very strange adventure series.

Rated 13 and up for nudity and occasional profanity. --Charles Solomon At age nineteen, pilot Dale Black miraculously survived an airplane crash that killed the other two pilots on board. Hovering between life and death for three days, he had a breathtaking experience of heaven. Against all odds and with insurmountable injuries, Capt. Black recovered from his injuries and returned to fly airplanes as a professional pilot, airline pilot instructor, and jet flight examiner. For forty years he kept the story to himself at the urging of his grandfather to "live" his experience rather than talk about it. The flight to heaven changed Dale's life, and now he allows it to be told in hopes of encouraging others with this wondrous experience.
