Gary Karkofsky, a.k.a. Merciless: The Supervillain Without MercyTM, is enjoying the bliss of a newly rebooted Earth. Ultragod is President of the United States, most supervillains are either harmless or imprisoned, and superpowers are being used to benefit all mankind. Of course it couldn't last. Suffering a near fatal heart attack and under attack by extra-dimensional evils, Gary struggles to find an object that might repair the universe he's unwittingly damaged the fabric of.
Gary will find himself dealing with an alien witch queen, a fantasy world with a massive dungeon, and a final showdown with his greatest foe!
Oh and he sleeps with a dragon.
Enjoy the next exciting installment of the Supervillainy Saga!
This is the ninth book in the Supervillainy Saga and I continue to love my time with Gary Karkofsky, a.k.a. The Supervillain Without MercyTM. In this story, Gary has to face some of the consequences of past actions. He rebuilt the world to try to make it a better place, but even trying to make the world better has repercussions. And Gary has to deal with them and save the world and more importantly to Gary, his family. Even supervillains have to do the right thing with the possibility of the end of the world.
This book has all the humor and pop culture references you expect from a C.T. Phipps story. I don’t always get all the references, but that doesn’t take away from the story. I love the snarkiness of all the characters. And of course, there’s fighting Nazis like any good comic book style story.
This has been a really fun series and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. I would not start this series without starting at the beginning. Especially this book, because there’s a lot of references to previous stories and characters. I was glad to hear there were going to be more Gary books.
This series, and pretty much all Phipps books, are great to take you out of the real world and get you out of your head. The stories always put a smile on my face. It has been a really tough week at work, which is why this is posting on a Sunday instead of my normal Friday. I just didn’t get this review written and couldn’t find time to get it done during the week. But even without reading and only thinking about this story for this review helped take some of the weight of the week.
Narration:
Jeffery Kafer is a wonderful narrator for this series. His performances are always stellar. He was the original reason I picked up my first Phipps book, and I’m so glad I did. He is magnificent at bringing out the humor in the story. And his character voices are first-rate. I always look forward to any story performed byt Kafer.
