About this listen

Even D-list supervillains have to start somewhere.

Follow Cal Stringel's misadventures as he climbs to the lowest levels of supervillany in the prequel to the smash hit, Confessions of a D-List Supervillain. Angry that he wouldn't be known as the engineer who made Ultraweapon's force blasters, Cal resigns to chase after a bigger, better paycheck.

However, the Promethia Corporation isn't going to let him go that easily and sets out to make his life a living hell. Fed up at being pushed around by a company with an endless supply of lawyers and litigation, Cal sets out to build his own version of Ultraweapon's powered armor and take his revenge!

What Cal doesn't count on is just how hard this is going to be.

Along the way, he will make both friends and enemies and discover how hard hitting rock bottom can feel. Whether Cal is trying to smooth talk his way out of the prison for supervillains, haggle with nefarious employers over the price of his inventions, or battle with the Gulf Coast Guardians, he's in for one wild ride!

He'll need to learn that when money is tight that everything has a price - from the cost of making weapons for a psychotic speedster to how much to charge for taking the blame for a drunken rampage through Las Vegas.

prequel blues

if you have not gone though the other 2 books, you won't be held by this one, and even then it tells you next to nothing new.

Great Story, Not worth the money

Coming back to this review after getting 4 books into the series.
I can say the series is fun, humorous and engaging but it is very much not worth the money. The author has taken the idea of ending Inna cliffhanger and taken the idea to its most mercurial.
Each of the books in the series seems to end just BEFORE the epic conclusion and the story is only resolved at the start of the next book.
You need to pay for 2 books to find the end of 1 then get dragged into the start of the next story only to have to pay for the next book to find out how it ends.
The overall stories are great but I cant help feeling that I'm being force to spend several credits on only 2 or 3 books worth of content.
