The Mad Scientist's Guide to World Domination: Original Short Fiction for the Modern Evil Genius
"Veteran anthology editor Adams succeeds again with these frequently lighthearted  tales of villains and mad scientists trying to take over the world and get the better of the more appreciated good guys. [...] Adams's entertaining story introductions set the stage for villains to find their own definitions and identities." -Publishers Weekly"A no-holds-barred collection. ... Brilliant ... insightful ... demonstrate[s] the seductive power of the 'bad guy.' [...] In  addition to the overall excellence of the stories, fans of superhero fiction should enjoy the variety of interpretations of the terms 'mad scientist,' 'super villain,' and 'evil genius.'" -Library Journal, starred review"By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and wonderfully wacky, this anthology is a genuine triumph. ... Every single one of these tales ... is nothing short of stellar. This isn't just a 'must-buy,' it's a 'must buy for every sci-fi  fan you know.'" -Romantic Times, named a"Top Pick" of the month"A collection of utterly fantastic shorts... It is a rare event when one can say they equally enjoyed each short as much as each other, in an anthology. Generally there are one or two that don't quite capture the reader's interest, yet with this anthology each was a winner. ... Easily my favorite anthology I have ever read." -Shades of Sentience“Breathtakingly rich… Superior writing, fantastic storytelling, and creative adherence to the theme will keep readers enthralled.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review on Federations“Editor John Joseph Adams has put together an impressive collection.”—The Washington PostonThe Living Dead 2
