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.
He has 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 staring into space 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.
