Millionaire Rock Star Everett Lester Had It All . . . His metal band DeathStroke played bars and honkytonks until a NYC record label discovered them and the band experienced a meteoric rise to the top of the record charts - and super-stardom. Despite Everett's unfathomable popularity and riches, he was spiraling out of control into a dark existence where everyone wanted a piece of him, and where drugs and alcohol were his only comfort. When Everett begins to rely on the services of a personal psychic from L.A. for guidance and solace, he gradually finds a sinister form of evil seeping into his fractured life that threatens to end his career - and destroy his existence. Through it all, he receives uplifting notes from a young lady in Kansas who claims she's not a fan, but a friend who's praying for him. A murder trial ensues and the eyes of the world are watching courtroom B-3 in Miami-Dade County, Florida. With tension on every page, Amazon #1 Best-Selling author Creston Mapes demonstrates why he is a "Top Pick" among mystery, fiction and thriller lovers. Fans of DiAnn Mills, Terri Blackstock, Susan Sleeman, Alton Gansky, Karen Kingsbury, and Robin Patchen will love this thriller from award-winning and bestselling author Creston Mapes. Reader praise for Dark Star ★★★★★ Loved it! What a great book. I started reading about 5:30 pm and at 1:45 am finally put it down so I could get a few hours of sleep before work. Came straight home to finish the last 50 pages. It definitely has some darkness and describes the battles we can face day to day. It also delivers a great message of enduring faith - what a great message! This is my 5th Creston Mapes book, and I have yet to be disappointed. ★★★★★ My favorite book so far of Creston Mapes. I read a trilogy first that was really good so bought this one to try. I was drawn in quickly to the characters and story line and liked the way it was written like memoirs. I especially like the way Everett was slowly drawn to Christ. It was very believable. Sometimes Christian fiction isn't a true to life depiction of how one comes to Christ but this definitely was. I plan on getting the next book in the series! ★★★★★ A great read. I don't read books much, but this book had me begging for more. I just couldn't put it down. Awesome story from start to finish. Looking forward to reading the next part. ★★★★★ Totally worth the time to read . . . Once I got accustomed to the writing style, I couldn't put the story down. Author Creston Mapes has earned another follower. ★★★★★ A Must Read. This book personified the battle between God and Satan for our souls. I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read more of his books. ★★★★★ Very inspirational, intriguing, couldn't put down! ★★★★★ Since I have read Creston Mapes other books and liked his writing I decided to read this one even though I'm not interested in rock stars, but I found this book just as good as his others. Very interesting. ★★★★★ Total page turner! I especially loved this book because I am a metal fan and was in bands and went to plenty of concerts "back in the day." . . . It's worth noting that I am not a fan of "Christian" entertainment because it's really dorky. I do consider myself to be a Christian and I love the idea of the Spiritual Thriller genre . . . Dark Star is eminently readable. Yes, there is some Christian-speak in it but it is limited, appropriate, and not jarring or tedious. The superb narrative is hurt not one bit by it. In fact, I found it comforting . . . So this story rang true to me on many levels. Can't recommend it enough! I'm already 90% through the even more intense sequel.
