Evil UnLtd Vol 1: The Root Of All Evil.
The Farce Of The Dark Side. Villains are the new Heroes in this Sci-Fi Epic.
Sinister supreme genius and super-villain, Dexter Snide, has floated Evil on the stock market and has gathered together a band of fellow villains, whose key challenge now is to ensure that Evil shows a consistent profit.
But Evil has its enemies. Like muscle-brained action hero, Rolph Stengun. As well as a shadowy rival, watching the progress of Evil UnLtd from a distant limb of the galaxy...
Q: What will e-readers like about your book?
While on authonomy, the sample chapters won numerous fans, from seasoned sf-readers and people who wouldn't normally have touched sci-fi with a barge pole. This suggests a nicely broad appeal which I think owes a lot to the characters - it seems a great many people love a good villain.
Q: Why did you go indie?
After consistently being told by agents and editors that this was an excellent book, really funny, but that there was "No market for sci-fi comedy" unless my name was Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett, I realised I was going to need an alternative route to reach my readers.
Q: Who are your favorite authors in your genre?
Douglas Adams. Harry Harrison. Larry Niven. Alastair Reynolds. Peter F Hamilton. Iain M Banks. (Evil draws its inspiration as much from serious sci-fi authors as the funnier ones.)

I can't recommend this book highly enough. I absolutely loved it, the characters, the story, the humour and the word play. I'm definitely not a Sci Fi fan - I maybe read one or two books in that genre a year - but I'm a fan of this book. Read it, you won't regret it. You'll love it.
