THE GEEK
Fan Fave Cult Novel by Jonathan Latt
Released As Audiobook.
(Los Angeles, CA) – February 22nd, 2016 – After overwhelming demand from fans on social media, Los Angeles author, screenwriter, and geek-culture enthusiast Jonathan Latt is launching an audiobook version of his much celebrated pulp novel The Geek. The author will be narrating the book himself which will be available for download on March 28th, 2016.
This hyper-sensorial cult thriller explores, with clever and dark humor, the invisible world of government clandestine operations. The story delves around Gary Geiecki, a skilled assassin who uses the codename “The Geek” and comic book superhero totems to empower himself before a killing.
The novel that The Hungry Monster Review calls “a ride you will never forget,”was released with a hardcover and digital edition this past September and has already blasted to a 4.6 out of 5 star rating on amazon.com as well as 5 stars onamazon.co.uk, making it a reader’s favorite. The paperback is going into its second printing.
The Geek tells the story of Gary Geiecki (pronounced Gee-ecki), a skilled long-time unofficial assassin for the CIA, who has decided to retire. There is no such thing as a truly perfect assassin and Gary is no exception. He is, however, very good at what he does and has left a wide trail of bodies behind him over his long and productive career. Riddled with childhood insecurities and social awkwardness, Gary desperately tries to move forward with his life after retirement. He quickly finds it is far easier to kill someone else than it is to kill the ghosts of the past. Gary soon learns that what is in the past doesn't always stay there. His greatest enemy - a man thought long dead - is back and seeking vengeance. Gary must now fight for not only his life, but for everyone he holds dear and finally put this last ghost to rest. Gary will learn that the old saying, ‘You can't go home again’ isn't exactly true. Youcan go home again, but you shouldn't.
“The Geek has been in my life for a while now. The lead character Gary is very dear to me at this point, and there’s a lot of me in him,” says the author.
Reviewer Ben Ragunton for tggeeks.com, the reference site for all things nerdy,says, “Latt has created something that I can only regard as a triumph.” He adds that The Geek “is a magnificent book.”
