Conquest of the Planet of the Geeks — David Reddish

Liquin Sonos and his geeky friends return! Two years after the events of Sex Drugs & Superheroes, Liquin has finished his magnum opus screenplay and journeys to the San Diego Comic-Con to meet with a high-powered agent to make his dream of becoming a screenwriter come true. Joining him on the journey are his friends Kate, the film student, her boyfriend Windsor, the angst-ridden animator, the flamboyant agent Brigham and the vampy party girl Roxanne. Little do his friends know, however, that Liquin has a deadly master plan to sell his work! And little does he know that his long-time nemesis, Ragnar Wortham has come to Comic-Con with the intention of destroying Liquin… Conquest of the Planet of the Geeks revisits the Comic-Con subculture with ferocious intensity, providing another stark look at a culture absorbed by corporate greed, the frustrations of life as a creative person, and an unflinching portrait of mental illness. The second in author David Reddish's Comic-Con Chronicles, Conquest of the Planet of the Geeks continues the praise and indictment of the Comic-Con subculture begun with Sex, Drugs & Superheroes, and plunges into the darkest corners of the creative mind, and the fight for artistic recognition. This time, it's war! Acclaimed author DAVID REDDISH continues to win both industry admiration and reader loyalty around the world. His works include cult novel Sex, Drugs & Superheroes and the Lambda Literary Award-nominated The Passion of Sergius & Bacchus. He's also published articles, essays and film reviews in noted publications like The Advocate and Playboy Magazine. He lives in Studio City, California.
