I’ve been reading the new John Scalzi book Starter Villains this week. It’s a lot of fun. Don’t have an image of it because the blasted laptop is in the shop and I’m trying to post using my iPad instead!
Starter Villains is about a man who’s coasting through life as a substitute teacher when he lost his journalist job in the city. One day, he gets the news that his estranged uncle has died and left him a bequest! This turns out to be running the uncle’s evil empire, complete with headquarters on a volcanic island. There are talking animals, a secret villain’s club, death threats, and Zoom meetings. Pick up a copy and see for yourself!
