Melchior the Brickmaker Robert Padan

Take pleasure in your reading experience for the simple joy of losing yourself in a story. Share the emotional growth and personal breakthrough as the young physician discovers that her prisoner Melchior is much more than a simple brick maker. Laugh as Melchior makes a mockery of his interrogation with his simple yet ingeniously clever manner. Wonder at the world Melchior and his allies have created on the far side in spite of the interference rather than assistance they received from the world government. Be repulsed by the selfish arrogance of Roberto Padron director of high technology and space exploration for the world government. Marvel at the imaginative use of ancient and modern technology Guadalupe, Grandmother and the allies in Ecuador use to foil the world government's invasion plans. Cry at the self sacrifice of Melchior's noble colleague in support of his allies. Sigh at love among nerds. Share the thrill as the allies realize they have the means to overturn the world government's evil plans. Be horrified at the literal backstabbing of the inside political workings of the ruling council of the world government; then share the shock and awe as Melchior's ally literally turns the tables on the ruling council. Then cry again as the physician realizes the awesome personal cost Melchior has paid to give hope to his friends; but realize as the Interrogator does that life goes on and hope remains.
