Melchior À La Carte

By: Ib Melchior

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

With a life as wild as his fiction, the award-winning sci-fi screenwriter and novelist serves up an “addictive” anthology of short stories (Andrew Kaplan, author of the Homeland novels). A larger-than-life character before picking up the pen, Ib Melchior fought the Nazis as a counterintelligence officer and decoded Shakespeare’s tomb. He was an actor in Paris and a Nordic student of Viking history. He honed his craft at the dawn of television’s “golden age” in the 1950s, imagining the realms beyond as a writer and director of some of the most memorable science-fiction cult films of the 1960s, including Robinson Crusoe on Mars and The Time Travelers. In this rich volume, Melchior draws on all these life experiences to deliver a literary epicurean’s smorgasbord of short fiction—historical, speculative, and visionary. One story explores a woman’s reawakening in post-war Europe; others investigate the war zones of Iraq; expose the backstage havoc of a television quiz show; and cover the life-and-death challenge in a dystopian future—and more. Melchior serves up an addendum of “desserts” in which he reveals the inspiration for each story, from the debatable identity of the Bard, to a Gestapo dog, to Hans Christian Andersen. Featuring twenty-one stories in all, Melchior À La Carte “is more than a potpourri of delicacies—it is a feast of literary delights, reminiscent of the tales told by those master storytellers, Conrad and Maugham. In short . . . Melchior’s book is a must have” (S. L. Stebel, author of Spring Thaw). “The Racer,” featured in this collection, was adapted twice for film as Death Race 2000 and Death Race. “An extraordinary storyteller . . . always provocative and wise, as he lays out the stuff of which dreams are made.” —Mann Rubin, screenwriter of The Best of Everythin

The Haigerloch Project

By: Ib Melchior

It was World War II's master weapon--and Hitler had it first. As Germany crumbled, Hitler feverishly raged against final defeat. Every qualified citizen in the Reich was committed to developing an atomic bomb. In 1945 they almost succeeded. The code name was The Haigerloch Project. _x000D_ _x000D_ The shock-a-second thriller of a brilliant scientist and a deadly spy threat into the most crucial Allied mission of the war. A heart-pounding race against time that explodes with more page-searing excitement than The Eagle Has Landed.

Order of Battle

Hitler's Werewolves

By: Ib Melchior

An assassination attempt on General Eisenhower looms as agents race to take down a Nazi terrorist organization in this “undeniably exciting” thriller (The Washington Post). Written by an author with personal experience as a counterintelligence agent during World War II, Order of Battle is set during the waning days of Nazi Germany, as plans are hatched for a covert terrorist organization known as the Werewolves, meant to carry on Hitler’s legacy even in the face of defeat. High on their list of goals: the death of America’s heroic Dwight D. Eisenhower. But the secret Nazi resistance will have trouble eluding the Allied forces lying in wait for them—especially one dedicated American intelligence officer who suspects that danger lurks underground amid the chaos of a collapsing empire—in this novel inspired by real events and filled with “maximum tension” (The New York Times).

Zappp! the Original Screenplay

By: Ib Melchior

When in the late 1990's I wrote the screenplay, Zappp!, it was a catharsis exercise in creation. The story is a light comedy concerning the comeuppance of an unscrupulous, thievish movie mogul and an unethical, amoral motion picture studio. I had just been the victim of this kind of larceny myself - not once, but twice - and began to feel sorry for myself, so I availed myself of the wisdom of Aristotle, who advocated the easing of destructive emotions by bringing them to consciousness and affording them expression. Being a writer, the result was Zappp!

The Micro Men

The Unproduced Screenplay

By: Ib Melchior

Every one of us is the host to an almost unimaginable array of independent microscopic organisms - such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi - with which we share a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship. They have evolved along with the human species, and their survival is the key to ours. There are ten times as many of these microbial cells as human cells in the body. What if these microorganisms were sentient?

A human individual, a man, who by replacing some of his organs, and substituting and adding mechanical or chemical devices or compounds, was given the capacity of existing and functioning in different atmospheres and climactic conditions. In other word, creating a man with the means to exist on other worlds.
