Editorial Reviews: Chapter 28: THE Iron Foundry The largest of the four helmeted men ordered Zip to take out his laser pistol and drop it. Slowly Zip scanned the crowd that was forming around the four officers. All the faces were angry, some distorted with fury. Many were shouting insults or booing the Starman and raised fists at him. Their words came together in a cacophony of hatred. All four men had their powerful laser rifles pointed directly at him. Shocked and deeply hurt by the fickleness of the citizens of Mars, Zips face flushed and he could feel angry tears filling his eyes. I ordered you to drop your weapon, you repugnant scum! shouted the menacing figure as he thrust his rifle forward. Zip blinked the tears away and instinctively stepped back against the ancient stone wall. Slowly he drew his pistol, making certain that the officers could see that he was holding it by the top, with his fingers far from the trigger. He held it out between his thumb and forefinger and tossed it in front of him. As he swung it away, with his middle finger he pressed the button that opened the power cells for recharging. He hoped fervently that the malfunction wouldnt spoil his plan. When the gun hit the pavement, all the energy that hadnt been used yet was liberated in an intense flash of white light. Momentarily blinded, all the people stepped back and covered their eyes. Almost as one, the four officers fired their lasers even though they couldnt see their target. When their vision cleared, they realized that Zip was gone.
