Beskrivelse
Welcome to Dodge, Iowa. Population: Frustrated. Why? Because it's a digital dead-zone...a lonely analog island in an ocean of corn. Old cars, record players, and some radios work okay-but there are no iPods, no internet, no video games or laptop computers, no cell phones, and some days...not much hope, it seems, for kids who've visited the big city. The government insists an ancient magnetic meteorite is buried beneath the town. That's what fries everything electronic. Uh-huh...right. And, hey...pay no attention to the razor-fenced tower complex way out there in the corn, guarded by gun-toting camo-dudes. What secret compound? What power surges? What Bullthit Kevin, Tandy, and Deke, just graduated, are desperate to get out of Dodge. Trouble is, they're flat broke and stuck in a bad '60's movie. A mountain of debt looms, as well as a mountain of doubt. Then Deke stumbles across 'The Stratocaster' at a farm auction. It's old...way old...a pristine sunburst '57 Strat. And it's valuable...way valuable. They know immediately it's their ticket out, a head-start on a real life...of having a chance. The Last Analog Summer is a coming-of-age thriller-quirky, funny, tender at times, and full of worrisome twists. Kev, Tandy, and Deke desperately try to hang onto the old guitar. If it isn't the town punk tricking them at the auction, it's his misguided mom giving it to the radio preacher at WWJD, because that's what Jesus would do. And just when they have Reverend Diz on board- Ivy and Remy's antics, which are antagonizing the camo-dudes as they try to finally get some answers about the tower surges, go horribly wrong. Will it take an Act-of-God, intervention by the mysterious Elston Gunn, or maybe...an all-out invasion by the U.S. Army to get the Stratocaster in their hands, once and for all?
