Merian C. Cooper's King Kong Joe DeVito

A hulking freighter waits at a darkened pier. Aboard, filmaker Carl Denham prepares for a strange voyage to a distant island -- an island where he hopes to make the most exciting movie of all time. First mate Jack Driscoll has concerns about the journey -- concerns that only grow deeper when Denham talks a down-on-her-luck beauty named Ann Darrow into joining them. And what waits for them at the end of the journey? More danger and excitement than any of the three could have imagined. For what waits at the end of the journey is... Kong. Join the showman, the sailor, the blonde and the beast for one of the greatest adventures of all time, as the actors of Full Cast Audio sweep you into the pulse poinding epic of King Kong, Eighth Wonder of the World! Joe Devito is the creator, co-writer and illustrator of the visual novel King Kong of Skull Island, a prequel/sequel to King Kong authorized by the Merian C. Cooper estate. Co-writer Brad Strickland is the author of over 60 books, and was chosen by the estate of John Bellairs to complete the unfinished novels. Merian C. Cooper was the pioneering producer who first created King Kong. This novel -- a faithful expansion of the 1932 novelization of Cooper's original Kong story -- was written with the authorization and cooperation of his estate.
