Can a Gulf War veteran suffering PTSD finally leave behind his past to find the music that will make his life worth living? Reagan returns from the first Gulf War haunted by horrific images of Tom Wallach, a dead marine he brought back from the desert. 

Seeking refuge from his nightmares and broken marriage in a jazz quartet in which he plays bass guitar, fifteen years elapse and he has a one-night fling with Rosary, a beautiful young woman he meets at one of his gigs. When his ex-wife comes back into his life, Rosary's obsession turns into a fatal attraction.

With help from Wallach's ghost, the daughter Wallach never met, and a being from a distant planet in search of answers, can Reagan find the music that will enable him to finally let go of his tortured past?

"A World Without Music reads like a masterpiece of music, culture and life and is highly recommended." —Sheila Deeth, author of Divide by Zero
