THE HENCHMEN'S BOOK CLUB
DANNY KING
Published August 2011
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.
In his time he’s worked for some of the most notorious super villains the world has ever known – Doctor 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 if not months of sitting around on monorails so Jones starts a book club with his fellow henchmen to help pass the time.
It was only meant to be a bit of fun.
It was never meant to save the world.

Author's Note: It's been a couple of years since I've had a book out and some startling things have taken place in publishing industry since then. The whole way we read, publish and most importantly buy books is going through something of a revolution and will no doubt continue to do so for many years to come. These are exciting times, particularly for those with offices opposite the big publishing houses who'll get to watch their neighbours leaping out of their windows when the Kindle 3 comes out. Now I'm normally the last person to embrace new technology, having only just bought my first video last year (what side's Tomorrow's World on again?) but with Kindle I decided to stow my cynicism and give it a go. This is obviously my first crack at this so if you've any suggestions or advice (other than please for the love of God stop!) I'd be more than happy to hear them. You can contact me directly at dannykingbooks@hotmail.com.
