Summary

Emperor Mollusk. Intergalactic Menace. Destroyer of Worlds. Conqueror of Other Worlds. Mad Genius. Ex-Warlord of Earth. Not bad for a guy without a spine. But what's a villain to do after he's done... everything.

With no new ambitions, he's happy to pitch in and solve the energy crisis or repel aliens invaders should the need arise, but if he had his way, he'd prefer to be left alone to explore the boundaries of dangerous science. Just as a hobby, of course. Retirement isn't easy though. If the boredom doesn't get him, there's always the Venusians. Or the Saturnites. Or the Mercurials. Or... well, you get the idea. If that wasn't bad enough, there's also the assassins of a legendary death cult and an up-and-coming megalomaniac (as brilliant as he is bodiless) who have marked Emperor for their own nefarious purposes.

But Mollusk isn't about to let the Earth slip out of his own tentacles and into the less capable clutches of another. So it's time to dust off the old death ray and come out of retirement. Except this time, he's not out to rule the world. He's out to save it from the peril of the Sinister Brain!

Loads of fun!

Totally frivolous and entertainingly tongue in cheek hard sci-fi. Narration was great, although I've never heard some words pronounced like that before!

Effortlessly funny, couldn't stop listening!

Although there were occasional flaws in the performance and story, the overall effect of this wonderful combination of author and narrator was something I had to finish in three big gulps. Genuinely laugh-out-loud funny in many places, stylish, creative, absurd and ridiculous in equal measures. I was honestly down in the dumps when I realised I'd finished it so quickly. With elements that reminded me of Adams and Rankin, this was a great find. I'm off to seek out more.

Very funny tall tale.

So, here we have a fantastic combination of Megamind and Dispicable Me.
It's a funny romp through the solar system with a lot of heart and great set pieces.
The characters are all the right side of silly, and the plot wraps up nicely.
Another good book from the author of Monster.

Scott Aiello does it again!

Really, it’s a fun and interesting book, full of whimsy and ironic humour, but it’s the extraordinary talent and character range of Aiello that brings this audiobook to life. His ability to seamlessly shift between characters and accents is worthy of Oscar recognition. Worth one of my long-awaited monthly credits, which is the best honour I can do any audiobook. Cheers!

Great book, well read.

I took a chance on this based on the sample, not having read anything by Martinez before, and came away impressed. It's a very fun book, quite unusual, and with a great lead character.

One of my favourite books

Clever, campy sci-fi comedy at its best. Would love to see a sequel please!
