Conquest

What does it really feel like to be a rock star? Reid Taylor started out with nothing and became part of one of the biggest bands in the world. CONQUEST is about a rock band, fame, the craziness of the road, true love, and a conflict within Reid's band that threatens to destroy it. Some sample lines, to give you a taste: "So I was lying there in that bed, surrounded by those hotel room walls that are strange because they show no trace of anyone's life. When Kristy and I had been in the hotel in Los Angeles, it had felt like it had all the warmth of a dearly loved home, because I had her to hold. But this room just felt strange and empty. I felt like it barely had me in it." "And it hit me - I mean it hit me so hard I felt like I'd been knocked backwards, and I leaned back against a tree and just looked up at it - it hit me that what I was doing this all for was to marry Kristy and build a family with her that was going to be as packed full of real love and caring as I could find it in my heart to fill it up with. " "By the time the place was packed, we were feeling like rowers who had just slid over a ledge into steep rapids, and were caught in the grip of a powerful current that we had even set out to find on purpose. It was so much fun I could hardly believe it. The crowd was jumping to what we were doing and the whole hall was vibrating for us."
