Now available on Amazon, the short but sweet (but not too sweet) prequel to “The Villain’s Sidekick.”

Duke “HandCannon” LaRue is a bad guy, an angry nihilist who’ll lease his prosthetic gun-arm to the highest bidder. Today it’s Dr. Shocktagon, who’s just one major player in a nefarious plan to rewrite reality and unleash an ancient nightmare on Earth. But when Duke gets life-changing news, he’s got to decide if now is the right time for end of the world and everything in it. Of course, changing sides in the ultimate war between Good and Evil is never as easy as you think.

If you liked the other one, you’ll like this one. If you haven’t read the other one, this’ll make you want to. Promise.
