Geist: Furioso
Podrobnosti o e‑knize
It is written. In three days’ time, the moon will collide with Holy Gothica and annihilate its many inhabitants—and the world with it. Only the Far Messiah stands between everything he holds dear and the flame. Who, you may ask, is this mighty savior capable of inspiring nations and preventing the apocalypse? The truth resides in no hero at all, but an autistic savant long since dragged into his own dark, gothic world. Resurrected from the darkest depths of despair, Victor Roland is this final hope incarnate.
As the Imperium launches a full-scale invasion against the Entente of Free Peoples, the company’s journey will take them north to the Principality of Tolstoff. The road is frostbitten and perilous, harrowed by the waxing threat of the moon’s descent, as men and orks wage war in the wake of the End of All Things. Only with a repurposed warhead, the URUK, does Victor have a fighting chance to reach the moon and prevent the extinction of humanity. And yet, he is haunted by regret and the wraiths of those he could not save. His deceased lover, Yuko, has accepted her role as herald of the End Times, embracing a misanthropic “truth” that the world at war is beyond saving. From a lunar throne, she seeks to counter Victor’s every move with the hosts of hell with his own daemon, Amadeus, as her champion and lieutenant.
This is the sixth and final book in the Geist series. Will Victor rise from the ashes of failures past and reach his apotheosis of potential? Or will he collapse under the weight of grief and let the world suffer the terminal consequences? Regardless, the journey approaches its end.

O autorovi
Diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome at a young age, Fallon O’Neill has been writing since his sophomore year of high school. These scribblings and vignettes would eventually become the earliest drafts of his debut novel, Geist: Prelude. Dedicated and passionate, Fallon has worked his novels with the Blue Moon Writer’s Group for over seven years, culminating in winning second place at the Will Albrecht Young Writers Competition of 2012, and publication in the eighth issue of the Blue Moon Art And Literary Review. His favorite pastimes include grabbing a beer (or four) at the local bar, blasting soundtracks into his skull, and watching German movies from the ‘20s to keep the existential dread at bay.
