Music is an important part of the STELLARNET SERIES. The songs in Aileen’s Irish pub inspire Duin while he fights back against the Tikati invasion of his world. Belloc teaches Genny a simple tune to play on the pelu. Virtual and real-life guests dance at Hax’s halloween party.
There are also songs the author listened to while writing the novel, because the lyrics and/or mood of the song fit some aspect of the story. All of these songs are listed here.
