The legendary Beatles fantasy novel, finally finished and ready to read in its entirety! 29 years in the making, and partially online since 1997.
Strings is set in 1980. The four ex-Beatles wake up to find themselves on another planet, terrified out of their minds, with no idea why they're there. As they struggle to figure out what's going on and how to get home, they end up spectacularly equipped to embark on a quest that will, if successful, remove a curse from an entire continent. Too bad they don't want to do this....
There's far more to the book than this, though. Enjoy its careful and accurate portrayal of the four, who grow and change as the book progresses; vast quantities of humor; a host of entertaining and believable secondary characters; a fully realized, internally consistent fantasy setting full of mystery; everything from dry cynicism to wide-eyed wonder, and from complete despair to overwhelming joy; and elegant prose from an author with some 30 years of writing experience....More >< Less
