Kalukan awakens from millenia of cold sleep to find his companions dead. He has been charged by the long-dead Worldwrights to protect their creation from its out-of-control Overseer.

As Kalukan prepares for his final quest against the Overseer, now named the Ghala, he begins to learn that the World's purpose is not that which he was taught. With a frayed sense of faith in his purpose, Kalukan sets out to reach the inexplicable construction known as the Skylock, where history tells him a city will be built to stand against the Ghala, a final bastion of civilization. Kalukan hopes but cannot believe that he is the hero they imagine he is.

My first book and experienxe with Max Grant was vey pleasureable. The Worldwrights is a wonderfully written book packed with a full exciting cast of characters on both sides of good and evil. I sill amazes me how these talented writers can keep their story consistently going forward with so many intertwineing story lines going in and out. Every one of these favorite authors of mine I am so surprised they are not on the New York Times Best Sellers List each and every week at least one of the. Max Grant is the latest entry into my list of personal favorites, I hope to see more from him very soon.. In years to come I hope we can all look back and see what contribution Podiobooks has made to the success of this new type of distribution of new authors and gives the new authors the recognition they all rightfully deserve. This book could be easily adapted to a beautifully crafted film. We rae now seeing the success of Seth Harwood with his Jack Palm Crime Series, Scott Sigler with his huge successes with Infected, and now Nocturnal, Tee Morris Billbub Baddings and of course Moravi (another great movie project) and I could go on and on. Definately recommend everone to come to Podiobooks. They are the formost repository for the latest in the up to date and popular young writers. You will see them here before anywhere else most of the time. Good job Max Grant with the Worldwrights and I will be waiting for many more great novels and novella's from you. Anthony Cascella

Forget the half mind, Max. Just do it. Updating chapters is a fairly simple task, and if it will make your book sound better, go for it! E.

Thanks for the feedback, Red Chef. I'm glad someone could hear the improvement in the narration style. I am of half a mind to ask Matt if I can re-submit the first 5 chapters. The names issue with the story I can totally agree with. I wrote this story almost 18 years ago, so some aspects of it are very immature to me. I have written much since then. I re-worked a lot of aspects of the story as I brought it to "publication" but I completely rewrote the climax of the story at the 11th hour and was so pleased with how it came out I almost started completely over -- it was very difficult to decide when to let go of it. As for the episode spread -- that'll never happen again. I will not release any episodes of a podcast again until I am over 75% done with the entire recording. There were too many unexpected setbacks that slowed it down and I was painfully conscious that readers were dropping out left and right as they waited for me to get on with it. And the "recap" is a good suggestion too. Thanks so much for listening. There is more to come, I assure you.
