About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
Who is Johnny Kicker? A murderer, a prophet, a scapegoat, a puppet, a degenerate, a hero, and a counter-revolutionary. Since the invention of music, those who perform it have been accused of sedition. And while rock 'n' roll has forever aspired to become the anthem of revolution, its momentum has always petered out or collapsed upon itself. That is, until The Witness arrive and start singing about marching in the streets and smashing every window they see. The band gains a following that turns into an army awaiting orders, and when they're forced to flee the United States, the vacuum left behind is filled with a terrible new ambition. Johnny Kicker is a story of ideology, betrayal, and the manipulation of youth.
