Ming the Merciless
Surrounded by an army of minions, killer-bots, and super-powered arch-villains, Ming rules the galaxy with an iron fist. In this universe where Supers battle Arches every night on prime-time TV, the fate of humanity itself hangs in the balance. But things take a strange turn when Ming kidnaps ace-reporter Polly Purehart and her hapless cameraman Dave. Forced to do Ming’s bidding, Dave & Polly quickly find out that Ming is not at all what he appears to be.
As Dave & Polly strip away the layers of Ming’s legend, things go awry in this hybrid story where 1930’s cinema collides with modern culture. In a wild mash-up of genres, this extra-pulpy tale will make you laugh out loud at the story you thought you knew.

Man, I did not expect this to be such a fun read! It's so witty and character driven that I'd recommend it to ANYONE who is a fan of action-packed stories comic book style. Amazing Heroes vs Villains twists and turns till the very end, neatly wrapped with an unbeatable sense of humor. Just WOW!

When I saw the author’s tag line on the cover was “Another steaming pile of crap from Ralph Rotten” and since I already read two other piles (books!) from this author, I grabbed this one.
While Ralph describes himself as a degenerate asshole, I only see a riveting author who tells brilliant tales. With twists and angles that I could not imagine, this humorous tale has me considering a re-read. Now a re-read might not sound like a big deal to you, but I have probably only re-read 6 books in my entire life.
The author's summary includes the line “Laugh out loud at the story you thought you knew.” This, while not a true spoiler, gives you insight into the author's unique style. I highly recommend this book.

A hilarious romp through the galaxy. Tremendous writing from the author, both in parody and metaphor. Also really appreciated the visuals and settings, as this lands squarely among my preferred genres. Highly recommended!
