Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

But when he arrives on scene, Cal soon learns that the victim—Roddy Tebbit, an otherwise milquetoast techie—is well over seven feet tall. And although he doesn’t look a day over thirty, he is ninety-one years old. Tebbit is a Titan—one of this dystopian, near-future society’s genetically altered elites. And this case is definitely Cal’s thing.

In Response to the Criticism from Other Reviewers
- By Jonah on 06-11-17
Publisher's summary
It's hard to find work as a doctor when using your real name will get you killed. So hard that when a reclusive billionaire offers Dr. Peter Brown, aka Pietro Brnwa, a job accompanying a sexy but self-destructive paleontologist on the world's worst field assignment, Brown has no real choice but to say yes. Even if it means that an army of murderers, mobsters, and international drug dealers - not to mention the occasional lake monster - are about to have a serious Pietro Brnwa problem.
Facing new and old monsters alike, Dr. Brnwa's story continues in this darkly funny and lightning-paced follow up to Josh Bazell's best-selling debut.

Story
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets.

Don't waste you're time.
Horrible 2nd atempt, total political drivel, not worth bothering with, especially if you're at all conservative. I prefer my books to be non-political, it's supposed to be a break, but not in this case! First book was enjoyable, this was not well written, not a good second attempt. Writer was so busy being political he forgot to actually write an enjoyable story. Returning, was a waste of money...

What a waste.
I don't like to be beaten to death by an author's political views, from either side. In this case it just became silly. In the first two thirds of the book it was only sporadic, but then the listener gets beaten to death. That is if you can take it, I did.
Yes Bazell is probably smarter then I am, but I doubt he's ever tried to start a business, create jobs and make payroll.
I gave "Beat the Reaper" 4 stars.

Extremely Disappointing
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Taking out the far left political rant. I loved Beat the Reaper and when I saw a sequel I leaped on it. The story was implausible and over the top. That would have been okay but for half the book I had to listen to political diatribe that detracted from what little story there was.
Would you ever listen to anything by Josh Bazell again?
No! I would get my money back for this if I could. If the author had decided to stay off his soapbox he could have sold me more just to see what happens. I don't like being preached to at any time and I surely don't want to pay for a progressive rant.
Have you listened to any of Robert Petkoff and Stephanie Wolfe ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Extreme disappointment and anger both.
Any additional comments?
I hope the author thought expressing his views was worth it because he has lost a reader (listener) for life.

What Happened?
I LOVED Beat the Reaper. I bought extra copies for the nurses on my unit I enjoyed it so much. I wouldn't recommend Wild thing to anyone. What a disappointment. I'm not sure what was worse. The disconnected characters or the bizarre addition of Sarah Palin to the story. After the main character, Pietro complains, about Palin's fame I just kept thinking "Well, she might go away is you nitwits would stop writing about her." Ya think? Save your time and your money.

Seriously , this is crap.
Would you try another book from Josh Bazell and/or Robert Petkoff and Stephanie Wolfe ?
No, I would not.
What character would you cut from Wild Thing?
Cut them all, they were awful, I wasted a credit on this.
Any additional comments?
I waited a year for the new Josh Bazell book and get this, it was awful. His first book was wonderful. This book was nothing like the first, it was just fantasy for a 12 year old. And if that wasn't enough you have to listen to a liberal oration at the end.

DUMB!
Why DUMB as a review title? Because when I reviewed Josh Bazell's first book I loved it and I named my review SMART! Because I thought it was. This book insulted my intelligence, though. Don't waste your credit or your time. From his gratuitous use of profanity and vulgarity, to its overabundant use of clinical terms. Just stop already. It doesn't make the author or the characters sound smarter or more interesting. It just bores you to the point of annoyance and disappointment, because you had such high hopes for his follow up novel.
The narration was good, but not great. If you can't talk like someone, please don't try. Oh... and did I mention that I would prefer not to have an author's political views shoved down my throat? Whether I agree with them or not.
I'm bummed. I was so excited about this book and it was a gigantic let down.

The author should try leaving his politics and smug disdain for other people’s faith out next time. It finally became too annoying to continue.

Liberal political analysis?
What disappointed you about Wild Thing?
The ending was a bit disappointing, but I was OK with it. I was surprised however when the story ended and there was a 20 minute liberal, political rant. I paid for a mind-candy fiction novel and am very disappointed that my time was hijacked to rant about liberal politics. This will affect my decision to purchase another audiobook by this author.
If you’ve listened to books by Josh Bazell before, how does this one compare?
Beat the Reaper was a better story and did not have the political rant at the end.
What does Robert Petkoff and Stephanie Wolfe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The performance was good.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It was entertaining.
