A review by tomperignon
Starter Villain by John Scalzi
5.0
This is my second Scalzi novel, just having finished Old Man's War.
I can see myself becoming a Scalzi completionist.
this novel has everything: bad mouthed labor rights activist dolphins, Cats who may or may not be hyper intelligent beings who talk to you through a computer, whales with laser beams, a not so top secret volcano lair and some pretty awesome supervillainy.
I love the underlying commentaries the most: animal rights, women's rights, nepotism driving capitalist corporations and being pro-union. Not your typical sci-fi, but it is an hilarious romp.
I know this is supposed to be a one off novel - but I would read a second in a heartbeat. Especially if Dolphin 73 is in it again!
