author - "Patrick Sean Lee"
A disaster has struck the earth. Four children remain, and they have no idea what caused everyone except themselves to perish. They must make their way in a new land where bodies are rotting, unknown dangers might lurk in the shadows, and in an existence with no parental or community guidance.
But, besides themselves, someone else has survived. The question arises: Is this someone a monster, or is he to become their moral compass?
...A little girl with dark, curly hair sitting beside him in a tiny house high up in the trees. A mansion, with a retinue of servants, and another young woman at his side, her hand on his shoulder. Stacks and stacks of books laying on a polished wood countertop. A land inhabited by strange creatures garbed in spiral gowns, calling to him to enter their dance...
Marvin has just finished cleaning himself up at The Salvation Army Mission. Escaping the Mission through a window, naked, he is visited by an angel who instructs him to go to the Governor's Mansion. "Here is where you will go. Here is what you will do..." Marvin assumes he will find his one true love, Amy.
He throws his clothes back on and heads off...
Marvin has singlehandedly cracked the riddle of the human aging genes. He has injected himself after having returned to the Governor's Mansion. It is the following morning and the First Family of the state is having breakfast when Maribeth Harris, Marvin's personal rescuing angel, breaks the news to her father and mother...
Marvin Fuster has died and gone to Heaven alongside his friend Anselm the angel. Back on earth, John Delilah has married Amy and wins the governorship, moving the state forward with enlightened leadership. They have two children; Maribeth Ann and Marvin James.
Maribeth de Torres, nee Harris, has buried two men she loved; Marvin the wacky bum turned scientific genius, and Robert, the head servant at the Governor’s Mansion. She meets a young author, Antonio de Torres, while attending classes at Denver University, and after graduation, they marry.
Years fly by, and Denver grows to become the magnetic “True North” of Cosmopolitan culture, surpassing New York City, Chicago, London, and San Francisco, drawing the new deans of enlightened art and thinking to the pearl sitting at the base of the Rocky Mountains. But all is not well in this new spiritual Eden. As idyllic as the city’s thinking and forward movement have become, the underbelly of greed and evil have risen as well, threatening to unravel everything good and pure that has been gained.
One Medford Stenchcomb has returned home from California to wreak revenge on former Governor Harris, Maribeth’s father, as well as ruin the city. Alongside John Sampson, recently released from prison, bent on murdering John Delilah, the two men discover documents that will not only astonish the world, but bring them wealth…and bring the new house of “royalty” to its knees in scandal.
Young Maribeth Ann Delilah, college student and Bohemian-natured genius in her own rite, stumbles onto the plot. Alone on the trail of leaked documents and murderous threats to two people she loves, she sets out to discover their source before her “virtual” grandfather is assassinated, in a journey that will take her to the very gates of hell and back.
Enter Marvin, Robert, and Anselm to help her discover and put an end to the real danger of the plot unfolding.
Final revised edition.
Marvin Fuster, a useless, aged alcoholic, takes a fall out of a dumpster head-first one summer evening. He awakens days later in a hospital ward—in love with a woman from a series of delirious dreams. After experiencing a miraculous cure, he embarks on a wild mission to isolate the human aging gene, reverse his age, then find and win the heart of his dream girl.
