* Item Description

The Whyte Python World Tour — Sex, Spies, and Shredding in the ’80s Metal Scene

"A rock-n-roll thrill ride... sweeter than Cherry Pie and better than a prescription from Dr. Feelgood! You need to read it." — Ernest Cline

Los Angeles, 1986. Big hair, big dreams, and metal mania rule the Sunset Strip. For 22-year-old drummer Rikki Thunder, life changes overnight when he scores a gig with Whyte Python, the hottest up-and-coming band in L.A. Within weeks, their single is racing up the charts, they’re selling out clubs, and Rikki has a dream girlfriend by his side.

But fame comes with strings attached—Cold War strings. As American rock infiltrates the Iron Curtain, Whyte Python unknowingly becomes the face of a youth revolution. Rikki soon realizes his meteoric rise isn’t just about music; he’s caught in a high-stakes battle for hearts, minds, and global influence.

Torn between his love for music and the shadowy forces manipulating it, Rikki must decide if he’ll play along—or risk everything to keep the beat of freedom alive.

Brimming with ’80s rock nostalgia, Cold War intrigue, and satirical humor, Travis Kennedy’s debut is a wild ride of sex, spies, and shredding—an adrenaline-charged love letter to an unforgettable era of music.
