AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Plucked from obscurity and thrown together with four other musical 'prodigies', Alex rides the power of his music to fame and fortune as the lead guitarist for Asturias, the latest creation of the music industry machine. But will the forces of commercialism and the stresses of fame destroy them, just as a bloody civil war tore apart another group of young idealists six decades earlier?
