A riveting tale about a young man's struggle to discover the
American Dream.
Life was pretty simple for five year old, Henry Burl, until he
witnessed his mother commit the ultimate sin: murder. Now, at the
age of fifteen, the memory of that one day in the haunted wetlands
of Sinclair Leprieur, Louisiana, still lingers with Henry. To cope
with the tragedy, Henry finds another means of escape: music. On
the way home from high school, Henry discovers a saxophone with the
initials, H.M., behind a pawnshop window. The saxophone happens to
be one just like the legendary saxophonist, Mr. Vortex, plays-only
this one is a soprano, not an alto. What Henry doesn't know-at
least not until he plays the saxophone-is that the saxophone, whom
he calls Adrian after the character from the movie Rocky, has
unexplainable powers. Adrian isn't any ordinary soprano saxophone.
When Henry is forced to confront his dark past, he will soon
realize that the origins of Adrian are much closer to home than he
had ever imagined.
A gripping tale of one man's journey to discover the American
Dream, Fall to Arms, the third and final volume of the V trilogy
takes our most beloved, but hated, rock star, Henry the Fif', down
an unexpected path of violence, brutality, and corruption. With a
little over a week left until the big New Year's Eve concert in Los
Angeles, Henry manages to dodge the police long enough in order to
plan his escape from the ones who seek to kill him. Just when
things couldn't get any worse, his best friend, T.J., is fighting
for his life in Lansford Medical Center. As the concert approaches,
Henry remains in a constant state of survival either from
misleading the police or plotting to murder the ones responsible
for T.J.'s fate. When Henry finds himself outnumbered by the same
men involved with putting his best friend in the hospital, as well
as accused of a string of murders that stem back to his early
childhood, Henry will soon learn that sometimes it's better to burn
out rather than fade away.
