With works such as Swan Song and the historical thriller Mister Slaughter, best-selling author Robert McCammon has proven himself an extraordinarily accomplished storyteller. The Five features a rock band skirting the margins of success while touring the American Southwest. Life on the road, however, takes a strange turn when they encounter an Iraq War veteran. Soon thereafter, violence descends on the group, and their lives are tuned to a terrifying pitch.

The book takes place from the viewpoints of the band members, their manager and a damaged Veteran of the Iraq war who was at the point of suicide at the beginning of the book and see's a music video that the band made protesting the war and it touched him.... but not in a good way.
Like most of McCammon's work, at the end of the day, you'll leave after grieving, laughing with joy, shivering in the shadows, saying, "Oh no!" and falling in love with the characters. Good job Sir!
This story flows like a river

Would you listen to The Five again? Why?
Yes, McCammon is the master of subtlety and I'm sure I would learn more about his characters and the plot....What other book might you compare The Five to and why?
Perhaps in character interaction and variety of colorful personification of characters, so different yet united and are forced together in a desperate situation it is reminiscent of Stephen King's "The Stand".Which character – as performed by Nick Landrum – was your favorite?
How could you not love Arielle? (sorry just listened not sure how he spelled it) However, the performance was spellbinding!If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Yes....a diploma makes a difference! Ask Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.Any additional comments?
From "Swan Song" to "The Stand" I will (as an auditory learner) enjoy listening to this again...and redundancy bores me.Same excellence but wildly different

What did you love best about The Five?
The writer, whose other books are excellent yet nothing like this one, truly either knows what being in a band on the road is like, or really did his homework. He had it down. So real, yet with that mystery woven through - "get the bad guy" twist - to keep the reader on the edge of the seat. It will be interesting for those "outside" the business and relatable for those on the inside. Enjoy!former punk rock band member loves this book!
