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:
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
