Prayer for the Wild

By Scott Martinez

The gift was in their blood...

Piper Wild, a guitar slinging Northwest legend, is back with her new band, The Wild. Along with her younger brother Buck, a velvet voiced front-man, their dreams echo the legacy of father Everett, who once penned a single hit sensation.

But when Piper and drummer boyfriend Skyler make a quick trip east of the mountains, the unthinkable happens.

Everett does what he can, he drinks.

Buck begins a search that will lead him past music, fame, and fear, all the way back home to the man he will become, to the truth.

Customer Reviews

A fantastic read.

A gritty rain soaked homage to the Seattle music scene. Martinez captures the quintessence of life in a band while riding that sweaty lucid dream into a twisted nightmare of despair, weirdness and hope.

Solid work

"Prayer for the Wild" is an outstanding achievement, especially for a first novel. Martinez infuses his prose with an inherent sense of poetry and a subtle, yet mesmerizing style. Hopefully we'll see more from this budding novelist. If we do, I predict it will just get better and better.

This is a must read, Great Book!

I felt this was an amazing story that kept me reading. It was so well written I could not put it down until I finished the book and found what happened to this very talented young girl. I found it to be a very interesting book about young people in the life of music. I recommend this book to anyone looking to read a well written easy to read story. I feel this writer has a lot of talent and should continue to write more books. I will be looking forward to his next book myself.

It becomes real, and leaves you wanting more

This is pretty much an amazing book. By the end of the first chapter you are so deeply involved with the characters you become them. You love them, fear them, and respect them. Being in a band myself, Scott describes in this book about The Wild, what my mind tries to describe about whats its like to be in a band. Not only about bands but life. After reading this book i want to find a cd by The Wild and listen and live it. But its not all about bands and music industry or the politcs revolving thereof, but like i said, also about life, and how fast it can be taken away. I couldn't put it down, i had to find out what happend, what was going to happen, and how it turned out. Made me cry it did, it garbs you, and pulls you in. I highly recommend this book. Perfect for any collection.
