THE CONSTRUCTOR: A mind-blowing novel about the creation of the Universe.

by Rodrigo Andolfato

Late at night, Detective Mark Randall receives a call from his boss. He must examine the crime scene of an entire family's murder, followed by the kidnapping of the eldest daughter. While Mark looks for the young Carol Sinclair, his mind is haunted by tragic memories from his own life.

Accompanied by his most spiritual and optimistic partner, the skeptical and traumatized detective must face some of the city's most influential and corrupt authorities. The detective keeps working, even without hope of success or justice, when a mysterious man appears in the middle of the night. The man reveals who is the Creator of the Universe and the motivations that led him to build this world.

In the beginning, Mark thinks he's having hallucinations. But events surrounding the mysterious man start to affect the whole planet, and the detective realizes that he is about to find out the deepest secrets of the Universe. Now, Mark must make a choice that will impact the fate of billions.

With a very dynamic and exciting plot, “The Constructor” is one of the most surprising and innovative novels of recent years.

Thought changing

The constructor

A very thought provoking read and depending on your own beliefs parallels to the Bible can be seen throughout. Ie man made in Gods image . My interpretation was that each planet in the galaxy/solar system was like a city on earth the only difference in travelling was mode of transport. A great read.

My Dad once read a book that was so bad he threw it out of a train window. I wish I could give this the same fate, but alas, deleting it from my Kindle is the best I can do.

When I read the prologue i almost stopped, clunky english and clearly in need of a good editor.

But, I continued, to find two seemingly unconnected stories, a pretty standard detective story and an alien life form having all sorts of moral challenges, written in very different styles…suddenly they become one and the stories mesh.

You can read this as a trashy defective VS ET story; or as a much more thought provoking story, both are valid.

I would say that the book needs a good editor to fix the missing words, clunky english and generally tidy up the writing, but once past that a enjoyable read.

I will certainly read other books by the same author

Great Idea Badly Executed

An intriguing premise and a nice redemption story that was almost impossible to read. I had to skim through most of it.
It reads as if it’s a bad copy of a machine translation of a mediocre work. A good editor could possibly turn this into a readable novella.

The constructor

I thought that this was a good story and seems like an original idea can't say I've read anything like it before. The only draw back is the use of language made it hard to read at times.

great story - needs better writing

The world building in this story is fascinating, and I really enjoyed the themes and overarching storyline. The writing seems like an early attempt - there is potential, but it needs practice and a good editor.

Suffers from bad English translation...

Persevering with this one but it suffers badly from the poor translation into English. Needs quite a bit of editing...
