Vulkan (The Blacksmith of Very Bad Things) was the world's greatest supervillain twenty years ago. Then something unique happened. His fiendish plot for world domination - transforming most of the world's energy sources into fruity flavors of gelatin - actually worked. Now Vulkan has everything he ever wanted - the world at his feet, his own island paradise, a decimated superhero community, a beautiful ex-superheroine wife, and a genetically engineered miniature elephant with a genius level IQ. But ruling the world is not all it is cracked up to be. His tyrannical regime is a bureaucratic drudgery, his kids may be plotting to kill him, and there is no one left to fight - until Vulkan comes face to face with a shadow from the past desperate for revenge and the one foe he doesn't know how to defeat - his own mortality.
