The Myth Makers

The greatest band that (n)ever was

The Myth Makers was Desmond's first novel. Told through the eyes of an Asperger, it's a humorous examination of culture, image, and betrayal of friendship, rather than a got-the-T-shirt expose on the foibles of the music industry.

The Myth Makers – The greatest band that (n)ever was.

They are the world's hottest band, with the fastest-selling album of all time. Everybody wants a piece of them: the fans; the record company; the government; even the CIA. There’s one problem - they don't exist.

Discover how Ade - a bald, ordinary thirty-something with a beer-belly - and shady business partner, Terry, conned the world and created a rock legend.

Where were YOU the day the Myth Makers died?

This thought-provoking comedy climaxes at a warehouse siege where Terry and Ade are pitted against a hitman and a political sociopath. The four men play out their fatal drama as rival cordons of armed police and security agents struggle for control outside.

An unconventional tale with unusual plot themes, The Myth Makers follows three separate strands that run parallel. As repercussions ripple out, the threads begin intertwining until the destiny of all hangs on one decision.
