Henchmen - Paperback

by Eric Lahti (Author)

Join a small organization of loveable bad guys: a supervillain and her henchmen. Eve, the seven-foot-tall, bulletproof blonde is their leader. Frank and Jean are a couple that can get into any computer or building unseen. Jacob is a rough-around-the-edges biker type that has a deep and abiding love of guns and explosives. And Steven? Well, he's really good at manipulating people and pretty handy to have around in a fight. As super villainy goes, they're just starting out. They don't have much of a secret base. They don't have matching uniforms. Not a one of them owns a single pair of tights. What they do have is an interest in tearing down the country and watching it burn. There's just one little problem, though. No matter how tough and smart a small group may be, tearing down a country is almost impossible for five people to pull off, so they while away their time pulling small jobs and putting together as much advanced technology as they can. A chance encounter at a sushi bar has led them to a young woman with a terrifying secret she doesn't even know she possesses. The Yakuza wants to use her to put pressure on a missing father. No one's entirely certain exactly what the secret is, but it smells like a weapon and it might be just the sort of thing to help topple a nation. They're done pulling small jobs. Now they're aiming for the top - because why bother robbing jewelry stores when you can topple governments? Yakuza gang fights. Incursions into high-security, top-secret government buildings. Picking fake fights with losers in bars. A psycho ex-coworker who has some strange friends. And a well-dressed older gentleman who haunts dreams. It's all in a day's work for Steven...one of the world's most dedicated and dangerous... HENCHMEN

Author Biography

Eric Lahti grew up looking for UFOs and buried treasure in northwest New Mexico. Unfortunately, he never found either of them. Or maybe he did. He did find some good stories to tell at parties about lights in the skies and gold in the ground, though. When he's not writing, he's programming and practicing his Kenpo. He's also an active blogger, waxing philosophical about a range of topics from writing, to martial arts, to politics and religion. Frankly, he fancies himself something of a Renaissance geek about a wide variety of things. Eric is the author of Henchmen (released in November of 2013), and its sequel, Arise. He's currently working on his third novel.
