Book excerpt: 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 waiting for things to kick off 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. From the BAFTA-nominated screenwriter of Wild Bill and the best-selling novel The Burglar Diaries.
