{"product_id":"starter-villain-1","title":"Starter Villain","description":"Now a New York Times bestseller!\n\nInheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place.\n\nCharlie'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.\n\nThen his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie.\n\nBut 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.\n\nIt'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.\n\nIn a dog-eat-dog world...be a cat.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0765389223\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0765389223.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Scalzi, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
