Synopsis: The Farce Of The Dark Side. Villains are the new Heroes in
this Epic Sci Fi Adventure.
Evil UnLtd:
on a mission of indefinite duration, to seek out new evil schemes and boldly go
to depths and extremes where no super-villain has gone before.
Sinister
supreme genius and super-villain, Dexter Snide, has floated Evil on the stock
market and has gathered together a band of fellow villains, whose key challenge
now is to ensure that Evil shows a consistent profit.
But Evil has
its (some would say unfair) share of enemies: Heroes in all sorts of nauseating
shapes and sizes, up to and including muscle-headed action man, Rolph Stengun;
and, because Evil is a highly competitive field, rivals, such as the mysterious
figure who has his Visigoyle minions shadowing their every move.
What begins
as a heist to steal the greatest prize in the galaxy, draws Evil UnLtd into a
devious plot to crash their enterprise before it's reached a fraction of its
warped potential.
There is one
thing of which their enemy may be certain: when anyone draws Dexter Snide into
their sinister web, there will be serious disagreement over who gets to be
chief spider...
Author Bio: Born in Penzance in 1967. From the age of about three I was
probably dreaming of writing for Doctor Who. Certainly it wasn't a case of just
watching it: I'd go to bed with all sorts of adventures and story possibilities
buzzing around in my head. From the age of eleven, I knew, whenever any aunts
and uncles asked the "What do you want to do when you grow up?" question,
the stock replies of jet pilot, train driver, astronaut were never going to be
good enough for me. "I want to be a writer", I always said.
By then, I
was as avid a writer as a reader and I'd be scribbling all those adventures and
story possibilities down, and not just Doctor Who any more: I'd branched out,
developing all sorts of wonderful creations of my own. (Many now thankfully
lost in the mists of time!) At school, I'd delight in exploring the most
fantastic interpretation of whatever essay title my English teacher would hand
out, and presenting her with the resulting (usually sci-fi!) adventure. It was
also at school, among like-minded friends, that I discovered role-playing games
- a hobby where I could inflict my creations and adventures on others. Talk
about a vocational pastime.
And all this
continued to grow and develop as I was studying a fairly broad mix of English
literature, history, art and computer science. So, safe to say, much of my time
was based firmly in fantasy, with reality intruding frequently enough to get me
through a HND course in Computer Studies and, eventually, land me a career in
software engineering.
Since then
I've worked variously as a programmer, for a handful of different firms and
running my own business, and as a part-time lecturer in IT at the local
college. But that was all essentially part of the background, a means to an
end, because through it all (apart from, perhaps, a stultifying spell in
Bracknell - a sort of monochromatic industrial park Legoland not far from
London) the love of writing remained.I am a published author with a number of
Doctor Who novels and audio dramas, as well as three novelisations for the BBC's
Merlin series to my credit.
Message from the Author:
Meanwhile, among my own original works is a series entitled Evil UnLtd
which I have published independently.
Vol 1: The
Root Of All Evil and Vol 2: From Evil With Love are currently available for the
Kindle and all other ebook formats as well as in paperback. Vol 3: Evil UTD is
due to be released on May 25th 2013.
Until May
24th I am donating all royalties to Cancer Research UK and after that date I
will continue to donate 50% of royalties. So it's in the interests of a very
good cause that I am looking for people who might be willing to post reviews or
interviews/features online and help raise the series' profile.
