About this listen
Gary Karkofsky, a.k.a. Merciless: The Supervillain Without MercyTM, has decided to give up supervillainy and embrace the path of righteousness. Unfortunately, he's terrible at it, and no one wants him to be their superheroic protector. That all changes when a talking raven arrives with the perfect quest to make his mark: Rescue the president's daughter from Dracula.
Unfortunately, Gary is being led into a trap. The location of Dracula's castle is in Satan Swamp, which is where Gary suffered one of the few defeats of his life. There's also a camp full of superpowered children, the return of alternate reality allies, a pair of psycho killers in love, and the return of an old enemy.
Enjoy the latest installment of the Supervillainy saga!

CT phipps is as brilliant as ever.
wonderfully funny pop culture reference filled story. Great pace of action and comedy. one note you must read the earlier books in the series as this is the culmination of the story lines from the previous books. the audio performance is brilliant when I hear Gary voice its Jeffrey krafer voice . some performer just become the character like Alex Gunness being obi one kenobe even when it's ewan magregor. hope Gary was telling the truth when he quipt about 12 books.

Comic book world sort of
I enjoyed this book. This is book seven in the humours mixed up world of Gary Karkofsky, a super villain no scratch that super hero no not that either ...hmm the world's biggest film fan. You definitely need to check out the rest of the books in this series and in order because well it is about super hero's and villains that can time travel and no body is really dead, well maybe. There is a lot of film references, one liners, quips and action. You are never sure who you can trust or where the story will take you but the one for sure is its going to be a lot of fun. Hmm nope I can't think of a film quip to put in here so I guess I will just leave it to the very talented author to do it for me.
Gary Karkofsky tried it as a super villain but ended up losing to many of his friends or killing villains that was acting worse then him all in time order to take over the world. Also in the hopes that he won't screw up the world for his daughters, anymore than it all ready is.So he is trying his hand at being a super hero but with nobody trusting him after what his doppelganger did he is left sat in his office reviewing murder she wrote episodes until he gets a client. The Presidents daughter has been kidnapped by Dracula and taken to the Satan Swamp. At the same time something weird is happening to the world and realities are merging and people that are meant to be dead and friends are coming back as enemies. It seems the fate of the world is once again in Gary's hands. His old teammates have all deserted him and he will need to team up with a new team to get the job done.
I like Jeffrey Kafer as a narrator, he has just the right sounding voice for Gary and the many characters in this book and helps to make the story fly by or it's time travel.

“I am pathologically incapable of taking anything seriously”
Well, all of Charles’ books are great, but I think this was my favourite so far! The vast amount of pop-culture snark and wit had me laughing out loud! The self acknowledgment of just how ridiculous it all is is brilliant in itself!
I was definite sad to get to the end!
As usual Jeffrey does a brilliant job telling the tale and does a far better job bringing the characters and story to life than I ever could!
In summary: brilliant and buy it now!
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

A perfect duo!
Sonny & Cher, Ben & Jerry's, Bert & Ernie... now its C. T. Phipps & Jeffery Kafer!
This series has gone from strength to strength. I've never considered myself a geek until I started listening to this series and have understood all the references without having to Google them!
Mr P's imagination and skill at writing combined with Mr K's ability to bring the characters to life has really made this series for me.
It's got something for everyone in the book & having both the author and voice artist not taking themselves too seriously at times really makes it for me.

What's not to love?
I can't help but be a fan, these are some of the most laughable, loveable books I've listened to over the years. Like coming home :)
Jeffery and CT are the team I'm gonna love forever... no kidding. When there're books out by these two, I'm there. Happy to say I got out walking again just to listen to this. :) considering it's been a long time, thank you. Also, when I was at home and finishing this off... You kept Bobby entertained and literally stuck to my phone. Never seen him do that. o.0
If you love the other books you're going to love this, some of the same snarky characters that give Gary a ton of stick, and those who just compliment him in the best ways. There's so much fun, pop references you can't not know.... like really.
Some brilliant cross over characters from his other series, I really enjoyed this because it's not always something that works. This works :) and you'll not be disappointed.
This is 7 books in, I now know there's hopefully a ton more! excellent laughs and wonderful characters. I really hope it never ends. (Plus my fav character Mandy, and aliens and Jane! I know the history, this just was great)
If I could give over 5 stars on this series I would. My fav all round.
Keep them coming, can't wait on the next!
