KAYSVILLE, Utah, Dec. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Can funk music do more than cause people to dance? According to a new science fiction novel, those funky grooves in the wrong hands can be used for mind control. Funk Toast and the Pan-Galactic Prom Show, the latest novel by Utah author, Craig Nybo, follows Funk Toast, an Earth based musical group, on a truly funkadelic adventure into outer space.

Nybo's novel acts as part 2 and the conclusion to his sci-fi comedy novel, Bieber's Finger. Bieber's Finger follows a pop super-fan as she catches the finger of the object of her obsession in a car bombing outside a concert venue. She arranges to have a clone of Bieber printed from his DNA and proceeds to teach him to sing and dance. She sets her eyes on The Pan-Galactic Prom Show, a prestigious outer space party gig, to resurrect his career.
Funk Toast and the Pan-Galactic Prom Show picks up where Bieber's Finger leaves off. With Bieber assassinated, Funk Toast, an Earth band, fills the headliner slot at the intergalactic event. But Funk Toast fans are not the only ones interested in their sound. Knolar Jex, intergalactic pirate, hatches a plan to use the band's "psychopsionic" grooves to control the minds of alien species across the universe.
"I am a funk bass player," said Craig Nybo, author. "Playing funk music on bass is kind of like having a temper tantrum and getting away with it."
But even more than being a musician, Nybo writes books. Funk Toast and the Pan-Galactic Prom Show takes its place as his 4th novel.
"I'm always saying, funk is more than just music; it's a higher form of communication. In this novel, I put my money where my mouth is. Funk is like a latent energy that, when harnessed properly, can effect brain chemistry and in essence control minds. What space pirate wouldn't want such a power?"
Nybo uses his usual playful writing style in his novel to weave a fast-moving, funny story. Drawing from his own experience as a performing musician, he seasons the narrative with true-to-life anecdotes. Written in the spirit of Douglass Adams's Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Nybo's book is more fun than hard science fiction.
Funk Toast and the Pan-Galactic Prom Show is available in paperback, eBook, and audiobook at any reputable online seller.
