Publisher's Synopsis
WINNER of the 2008 DIY NATIONAL BOOK FESTIVAL AWARD for Fan Fiction - this book rolls with entertainment and takes you where you least expect to go. In 1933, following the release of the movie KING KONG, the survivor of an encounter with the real great ape imparts his secret to two young men. With the old sailor's map, an arsenal of weapons, a desire to prove themselves, and a three-masted barkentine, fifteen members of a Princeton Rugby Club embark in search of adventure and riches, collecting along the way a Chinese Rhodes Scholar, an Australian girl Rambo, a jungle boy prone to profanity, and a tribe of alcoholic natives. Not to mention a 30 foot gorilla with an identity problem. A journey of discovery far exceeding anything they would have expected with an unimaginable outcome. Full of old fashion appeal with contemporary twists and endearing characters, this award winning book is a must read for classic adventure and KONG fans everywhere. Includes the original screenplay.
