Were The Beatles almost assassinated in Manila in 1966?


American radio personality, 80’s Rock and Roll and MTV Video Star and Bram Stoker Award nominated author for Best First Novel, Greg Kihn, continues to pioneer the Rock and Roll thriller genre with his fifth novel, Rubber Soul, featuring The Beatles themselves.

Part murder mystery, part coming-of-age story, and a 100% action-packed ride through Beatlemania, Greg Kihn got the idea for Rubber Soul based on his interviews with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Patti Harrison, Yoko Ono and original Beatles drummer Pete Best.

With historical details that are 100% accurate, Rubber Soul offers a thrilling ‘it could have happened’ scenario of an alleged plot by Ferdinand Marcos loyalists to assassinate The Beatles in Manila, Philippines, after they snub the Marcos family, blowing off a reception at the palace and narrowly avoiding an international incident. It could have happened.

“Rubber Soul is a magical mystery tour de force by Greg Kihn, a rocker who obviously has a way with words as well as music. His imagined story about The Beatles is fast-moving, full of twists and tension, and musical nuggets and insights. Great story-telling set to a Fab-four beat.” – Ben Fong-Torres, former editor of Rolling Stone Magazine
“Rubber Soul captures what Rock-n-Roll is all about – and Greg Kihn would certainly know!  This nearly-true story of The Beatles is pure magic and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.” – Eddie Money
“Greg Kihn is the most compelling author who ever had a top five singing career. Rubber Soul is a fantastic story by Greg, with an historical back beat. I urge you not to miss this.” – Joan Jett
