Plot
Alfred Kropp is a troubled kid whose father left him and his mother had died of cancer. He is stuck with Uncle Farrell and, technically, in a moody position. The psychologist decided that Alfred was very close to going "mad with depression". Uncle Farrell puts Alfred in a football team where he makes second string right guard, or as Alfred puts it, a practice dummy for the first string defense. Later on, Arthur Myers, a billionaire, calls Uncle Farrell for his deal of a lifetime. If Uncle Farrell could receive the Excalibur for him, Arthur Myers would give him a million dollars. Already, this deal sounded suspicious to Alfred, but nothing is compared to the excitement and plot that is hidden in the story. It starts in The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp through to The Thirteenth Skull.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“The plot! The plot! What kind of plot could a poet possibly provide that is not surpassed by the thinking, feeling reader? Form alone is divine.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Trade and the streets ensnare us,
Our bodies are weak and worn;
We plot and corrupt each other,
And we despoil the unborn.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
