“This story takes place around a seminal UFO event that I believe happened”: Blink-182's Tom DeLonge has written a novel titled Trinity about a “pivotal moment in American culture”

Tom De Longe, Trinity.

Blink-182 vocalist/guitarist Tom LeLonge has written a novel which is set for publication this summer.

Trinity, a novel co-written with DeLonge's regular collaborative partner AJ Hartley, who also worked with the Californian pop-punk star on the Sekret Machine series, pivots around a UFO event which may or may not have occurred - DeLonge thinks it did, fyi - on an US nuclear test site in the 1960s.

The book will be published on June 11 via DeLonge's own To the Stars Media company and distributed by Simon & Schuster, who describe it as, “A thrilling new novel by the creators of Sekret Machines who, with the help of a team of government insiders, exposed the secret pentagon UFO program that captured America’s attention and led to the first public congressional hearings about unidentified flying objects.”

A synopsis of the book's narrative plot reads: “It’s 1962, in Trinity, Nevada, a small town on the edge of the desert, home to a military base serving the nuclear testing grounds. Van Lopez and his brother Andy have enough to do keeping their truck running and the local criminal gang happy to be concerned about nuclear tests. Van has dreams, or—he’s not sure what to call them—that he cannot explain or forget, but when he sees mysterious lights in the sky, he struggles to make sense of what now feel like his earliest memories.
