Oblivious to these myriad idiosyncrasies, and the depths of his unplumbed emotional needs, he spends his days devouring worlds of food and his nights absorbing data about Earth's magnetic energies including mysterious druidic ley lines. Financial strains upend Merlin's world, so he lands a full-time job at a blimp base. Night flights over the city and his flights of fancy concerning energy vortices keep Merlin's head in the clouds 24/7. When his computer program foretells a negative energy that may harm the entire city, Merlin wastes no time constructing a portable particle accelerator to reverse the event. But when a major malfunction destroys his meticulous plans, Merlin learns that druidic runes aren't the only things he's been misinterpreting and what's really important is what he's been overlooking all along. -- $c from the dustjacket. 651 0 $a Houston (Tex.) $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210302015653.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D586EEC7B2811EB8960C99555ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
