"It's like Terry Pratchett writing Batman'" "Think Hitchhiker's Guide to Superheroes"
After a billionaire tech genius (Eduardo Zusk) spends his entire fortune transplanting his brain into a multi-function pod, Windsor and Associates sign their most promising client yet, the perfectly "rational" Brainitar. But when a design flaw in his new container drives him insane, Edwin, Agnes and Topper struggle to stay one step ahead of the unfeeling and unhinged Braintiar as he tries to poison Third City's water supply.
Will Braintiar kill everybody? Will the Lynx finally get his heroic moment? Is Agnes ever going to let up on Topper? Can anyone outscheme Edwin Windsor? All this and more in the latest installment of How to Succeed in Brainitar.
How to Succeed in Evil is the continuing saga of Edwin Windsor and Associates, Evil Efficiency consultants, who strive, against all odds, to make their megalo- and ego-maniacal clients more villainous and profitable. If you've ever wondered why villains make such bad choices. If you think a loving satire of both superheroes and consulting is long-overdue, this is the series for you.

About the author
Patrick E. McLean
14 books155 followersPatrick's work ranges from the autobiographical, to the absurd and fantastic. Describing himself as a "writer raised by Economists" his perspective on the world is naturally unusual. From violent revenge and musings on the value of life from a character who is dead (Unkillable) to the rage and frustration of a consultant who grows so sick of having his advice ignored that he decides to take over the world (How to Succeed in Evil) Patrick's work is high-concept, penetrating satire that manages twists and turns while never shorting true psychological insight into fascinating characters caught in desperate situations.
In 2005, feeling that "he wasn't putting any torque through the axle of the world" he started the Seanachai podcast (http://www.theseanachai.com) He wrote and produced an original short story or essay every week for a year.
Among his influences, Patrick cites Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Mark Helprin, S.J. Perleman, H.L. Mencken, Albert Jay Nock, Hafiz, Homer and George RR Martin.

Yet another fun and entertaining installment.
The entire How to Succeed in Evil series is a wonder to behold. Many twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end. I hear tell Patrick may be working on the next installment. I'll be grabbing that as soon as it appears.
