I've always been distracted by the concept of henchmen in classic spy action thrillers. What do they do all day, do they get along, do they have families, etc.?
And then you take that train of thought elevate it beyond all of that and also throw in some accounting issues for good measure! I'm hoping for some HR shenanigans at some point too - does Jaws have a dental plan, will Banx be put on a PIP? - it's so good.
Great stuff Sam - this is what Substack was made for.
Throughout the book Sam does a remarkable job of showing that the cliche Hollywood action movie is a kind of cultural institution. It's weird to realize, as these cliches pop up, how familiar they are.
So excited to hang out in the comments here and see how other people respond! Congrats on taking the leap, Sam!
Wow.
This is reason enough to continue not taking your meds Sam.
Lol. Thanks Steven!

Ah, Sam, this was pleasantly unexpected. I’m gonna keep reading …
Love it!!
Collaging tropes to a new picture. Kahn can.
Just realised the main antagonist in the novel I will soon serialise is also called Kahn. And she's a woman. And not human. And nothing like you.
I like the style. The winding sentences are immersive and a good way to induce flow.
