Join us for a discussion of Starter Villain by John Scalzi.
Recommended for adults. Registration recommended. Copies of the book will be available at the library. Synopsis: Charlie is a divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell. All he wants is to open a pub, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies, leaving his supervillain business to Charlie. But Jake had enemies, and now they're coming after Charlie: 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.
