This is one of the most fun books I’ve read all year!
A whimsical sci-fi tale of a barely getting by guy k his cat who inherit his estranged uncle’s businesses & fortune - only to learn that the “businesses” are super villainy. Complete with unexpected spies, a villain convention, and a refreshing lack of romantic subplot, Starter Villain has plenty of fun twists and turns, witty dialogue, and a solid plot.
Highly recommend this one for those wanting to test the waters of sci-fi as it’s not so focused on the actually science part and just presents a fun story that happens to exist in a more advanced world.
