"One of the most notorious rock biographies ever written." -Chicago Tribune Originally published in 1985, and last updated in 2008, Hammer of the Gods is considered the ultimate word on Led Zeppelin, and a definitive rock and roll classic that sets the bar for what such books could and should be.

With 20% new material from bestselling biographer Stephen Davis, this edition of Hammer of the Gods is set to captivate a new generation of music fans, Zeppelin fans, and a new generation of readers.

This volume offers an inside look at the making of "Heaven's Gate", a 1980 American epic Western film written and directed by Michael Cimino. There were major setbacks in the film's production due to cost and time overruns, negative press, and rumors about Cimino's allegedly overbearing directorial style. It is generally considered one of the biggest box office bombs of all time, and in some circles has been considered to be one of the worst films ever made. Due to this fiasco, studio control of budgets and productions became tighter, ending the free-wheeling excesses that had begotten Heaven's Gate.

McManus "Patrick McManus is a treasure." — The Atlantic "Everybody should read Patrick McManus." — The New York Times Book Review "A style that brings to mind Mark Twain, Art Buchwald, and Garrison Keillor." — People "Describing Patrick F. McManus as an outdoor humorist is like saying Mark Twain wrote books about small boys . . . the funniest writer around today—indoors or outdoors." — The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
