Now a New York Times bestseller!

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place.

Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan.

Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie.

But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits. Jake had enemies, and now they're coming after Charlie. His uncle might have been a stand-up, old-fashioned kind of villain, but these are the real thing: rich, soulless predators backed by multinational corporations and venture capital.

It's up to Charlie to win the war his uncle started against a league of supervillains. But with unionized dolphins, hyper-intelligent talking spy cats, and a terrifying henchperson at his side, going bad is starting to look pretty good.

In a dog-eat-dog world...be a cat.

You have exceeded yourself

Dear Mr. Scalzi,
I don’t know how you do it and continue to do what you do book after book after book. I was in the Tokyo metro commuting my way home when I met the dolphins and I burst out laughing so uncontrollably that people started staring at me with a look that said, “Should we push the emergency button?” I laughed so hard through this book and that’s an unusual thing for me to do. So thank you for making this one of my favourite novels for 2023.

I wonder what’s next?
