With the Cold War heating up, it's time to boogie back into the far-out, twisted world of Dr. Vladislav Volkov and his groovy gang of brainwashing baddies.
Enter our mismatched band of international the overzealous CIA agent who wouldn’t know “free love” if it hit him in the face, a Bolivian narcotics officer whose English is about as reliable as a VW Beetle in a snowstorm, an egotistical South African cop who thinks he’s James Bond, a bossy Chinese spy who’s done with everyone’s nonsense, and an Indian journalist whose clueless charm somehow keeps him alive. Together, they must set aside their bickering, their cultural clashes, and their complete inability to understand one another to stop Volkov’s nefarious plan. But things get far-out fast when our heroes find themselves trapped inside Volkov’s inviting New Dawn Grimclaw Manor. With its deadly booby traps, experimental horrors, and enough Catulas (cat-vampires, yes, you read that right) to open a feline-themed blood bank, the manor is a madhouse of danger. As the team uncovers Volkov’s groovy but ghastly brainwashing devices, they’re faced with a real bummer of a destroy the tech and all its knowledge forever, or risk letting it fall into the hands of their own governments, who might just misuse it to turn the Cold War even colder.
Packed with hawk tuah helpings of dark laughs, psychedelic espionage, and enough action to make your bell-bottoms shake, “TRAPPED! AGAIN!” is a trippy sequel that will have you turning pages faster than a 45 RPM record. So grab your love beads, hold onto your bucket seat, and prepare for a wild, unputdownable ride that’s as thrilling as a Woodstock encore!
*** Pro Reading For a truly full-bodied literary experience, pair book with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. Just try not to mistake any plot twists for a hangover. (Please drink and read responsibly) ***
If Thanos and Goldfinger had a baby, it would be Dr. Volkov in this one. Blisteringly comic in his madness, he’s like Dr. Evil in the actual 60s who, although he has the power to literally turn men into mice, would prefer to turn them into other animals. This man is the villain the world needs!
