520    "Charlie'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. Then his
       long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain 
       business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. 
       But 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. 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"--|cProvided by publisher.
