Publisher's Summary

Exploding from the pages of Horror, Humor, and Heroes, Volume One - it’s the full length adventures of the one and only Mechani-Cal! So grab your battlesuit and prepare to get a little nasty.

"Being a supervillain means never having to say you’re sorry - unless it’s to the judge or the parole board. Even then, you don’t really have to. It’s not like it’s going to change the outcome or anything." Those are the words of Calvin Matthew Stringel, better known as Mechani-Cal. He’s a down-on-his-luck armored villain. Follow his exploits as he gets swept up in a world domination scheme gone wrong and ends up working for these weak willed, mercy loving heroes. Immerse yourself in epic battles and see what it’s like to be an outsider looking in at a world that few have ever experienced. Climb into Cal’s battlesuit and join him on his journey. Will he avoid selling out his principles for a paycheck and a pardon? Can he resist the camaraderie of being on a super team? Does he fall prey to the ample charms of the beautiful Olympian Aphrodite? How will he survive the jealous schemes of Ultraweapon, who wears armor so powerful it makes Cal’s look like a museum piece?

See the world of “righteous do-gooders” through the eyes of someone who doesn’t particularly care for them. Revel in his sarcasm and hang on for one wild ride! Just remember: losing an argument with a group of rioters isn’t a good excuse to start lobbing tear gas indiscriminately at them. You’ve only got so many rounds and it’s going to be a long day, so make sure you get as many as possible with each one.

    "Excellent Book"

    I was just searching the book lists when I came across the title. When I read the synopis and the very first paragraph took me in and I had to buy this book. I wasnt disappointed and have told friends about it. You will laugh out loud at times.

    I am eagerly awaiting another book by the author when ever it appears

    "Supervillainy Good Times"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Already have and will continue to recommend it to friends.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Cal, the main character, is my favorite. He is witty and a true hero amongst posers.


    What about Jeffrey Kafer and Talmadge Ragan ’s performance did you like?

    Quality voice acting from both and great use of vocal distortion on some of the characters. Kafer is great in portraying MechaniCal's disdain and frustration over the heroes actions.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Sometimes it takes a villain to save the world.


    Any additional comments?

    Any comic book fan will have a blast listening to this story and treasure it as if it were their favorite comic, I did.

    "Unexpected fun with a twist."

    I bought this book on a whim not thinking much of it. Let me tell you I was rooting for the villain from page one. Heck with the heroes and their issues. Get this book and you will bot be disappointed.

    "Brillant!"

    So every now and then a story comes along and just surprises the heck out yah! This is one of them. The writing is great, but the narration added so much to it! When you have characters that are so smart and just plan ahead so well, it really makes for a great afternoon. You will laugh out loud at some point during this book, and I believe that everyone will be able to relate to the character on some level too.

    Read it, you'll love it!

    "Short and sweet!"

    A pleasant surprise! Interesting premise...looking thru the eyes of the villain. Although the story is skeletal and could have used some fleshing out; I enjoyed the tale. It was easy to identify with the hero/villain and there were enough twists and new takes on old ideas that I found it well worth the $. Comic style sci-fi....good to go!

    "Laugh Out Loud Funny"

    Thoroughly enjoyable, I absolutely recommend this book. Well performed, well executed, and with a final twist that will blow your socks off. I do caution, it reads more like a short serial rather than a complete novel, with what feels like story climaxes sprinkled regularly throughout. I would love to see it as a graphic novel; I bet it would do well.

    "Memoirs of a Supervillain turn Superhero"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Confessions of a D-List Supervillain to be better than the print version?

    I haven't read the print version. The audio edition is excellent though.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Mechani-Cal, of course. He's the main character. His voice and style is so humorous and dark, you can cannot help but like him. A brilliant mind, a good soul, but has suffered a lot bad luck to sour him. His attempts to be the boy-scout Superhero fail him, however, when push comes to shove, that's when Mechani-Cal does his best.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Not a scene, but my favorite part of the book was the first part when Mechani-Cal tries to figure out how to save the world from the mind-controlling bugs enslaving the human race. But it's all great stuff from beginning to the end.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The scene where so-called superhero and jealous ex-boyfriend mind-wipes Aphrodite, Mechani-Cal's new girlfriend, thereby forgetting her special sweet relationship she had with Cal.


    Any additional comments?

    I truly enjoyed Confessions of a D-List Super-villain from beginning to end. The narrator did an incredible performance as Mechani-Cal. The story has a great mix of action, humor, sarcasm, and romance. For those who enjoy comics and superheroes, this is a great audiobook to listen too.
