Writer and musician Chris Wade takes a look at the music of the legendary Hawkwind, one of rock's true outsiders. In a series of articles covering every era of the band's career, new interviews with band members and associates, plus a host of previously unseen pictures from the archive of Paul Garbutt, Wade delves deep inside the phenomenon of this remarkable band.

Alongside the articles, the book features Paul Garbutt's piece, Hawkwind 100, all about his adventures seeing the band live over the years. Wade also gets fresh recollections from the likes of Paul Hayles, Dick Taylor, Jerry Richards, Steve Swindells, Alan Davey, Doug Smith, John Chase, Celia Humphris, Terry Ollis, Keith Hale, Michael Moorcock, Ashley Howe, Matthew Wright, Nik Turner, Wayne Bardell, Jon
Sevink, Ron Tree and Tim Blake.
