Monkey

1st PLACE WINNER of the 2008 DIY Book Festival. Monkey is great fun and destined to become a cult classic. Author Frank Mosco goes against the grain of expectation to present a compelling page turner of humor, adventure and surprise. In 1933, following the release of the movie King Kong, a disgruntled old sailor imparted his secret regarding the true facts of the storied creature and it's mysterious island to two young men. Armed with the old sailor's map, an arsenal of weapons, a desire to prove themselves, and a fully crewed three masted barkentine, fifteen members of the Princeton University Rugby Club eagerly embark on a search for adventure and riches that result in discoveries far exceeding anything they could have expected with an outcome none of them could possibly have imagined. A must read for Kong and classic adventure fans everywhere. This bonus edition includes the original screenplay on which the novel is based.
