Starter Villain

Expository dialogue for most of the book. Some truly funny bits though.

A classic Scalzi one-shot novel--a fluffy snack with some good twists.

The basic setup is that down-on-his-luck Charlie Fitzer unexpectedly inherits his estranged billionaire uncle's villainous empire and now has to fend with other villains who were pissed at his uncle.

Key features:

• volcano lair
• jerk dolphins who want to unionize
• zoom call power plays

I discoved Scalzi with this book. Liked the humor and many fun ideas...
