Critics Review
A ridiculous concept imbued with gravity, charm, humor, plausible cynicism, and pathos – and perhaps the merest touch of spite – Kirkus, starred review Chock-full of Scalzi’s trademark humor, and readers who love humorous science fiction in general and this author in particular are going to be rolling on the floor laughing out loud while reading * Library Journal * Scalzi’s ability to balance scathing satire with heartfelt optimism shines * Publishers Weekly * Bonkers joy. Prepare for a cheese apocalypse folks! * The Fantasy Hive * A light-hearted story with a likeable fish-out-of-water protagonist and a lot of very smart cats. There’s also a dolphin labor dispute, some truly awful techbros, and a volcano island lair … Who could resist? – Rebecca Roanhorse, author of Black Sun on Starter Villain Laugh-out-loud funny, intricately plotted and big-hearted enough to touch even the grumpiest cynic, Starter Villain establishes Scalzi as SF’s leading humourist – SFX on Starter Villain Prepare to be delighted and surprised – The Daily Mail on Starter Villain Satire aplenty … Charlie has to handle the lethal machinations of rival villains and also a pod of talking dolphins with militant trade union tendencies in a novel that gleefully skewers the vanity and inanity of a certain kind of plutocrat – The Financial Times on Starter Villain Subverts classic supervillain tropes with equal measures of tongue-in-cheek humor and common sense … The result is a breezy and highly entertaining genre send-up – Publishers Weekly on Starter Villain Fun, short and tightly plotted – New Scientist on Starter Villain
