When substitute teacher Charlie Fitzer inherits his estranged uncle’s supervillain empire—complete with a volcanic island lair, genetically enhanced talking cats, and dolphins in a labor dispute—he finds himself thrust into a world of rival villains, satellite lasers, and corporate espionage. This comedic sci-fi novel blends tongue-in-cheek humor with themes of capitalism and class warfare as Charlie navigates his unexpected new career in villainy.
