Mark Jones is a henchman for hire. He guards bunkers, patrols perimeters and stands around in a boiler suit waiting to get knocked out by Ninjas. This is his job. He has worked for some of the most notorious super-villains the world has ever known – Dr Thalassocrat, Victor Soliman, Polonius Crump; Mark was with each of them when they met their makers at the hands of British Secret Service super-spy, Jack Tempest, and lived to tell the tale – if not pay the bills. Still, for every hour under gunfire, there are weeks and months of sitting around on monorails staring into space so Jones starts a book club with his fellow henchmen. It was only ever meant to pass the time. It was never meant to save the world."One of the best ripping good yarns I have come across in quite a while" – The Literature Professors’ Book ClubFrom the BAFTA-nominated screenwriter of Wild Bill and the best-selling novel, The Burglar Diaries.
