OTTO VON TRAPEZOID AND THE EMPRESS OF THIEVES is the story of two criminal masterminds who can conquer anything except their own feelings. Otto Von Trapezoid is a mad scientist who rules an army of robots from his orbital space station. Angry and grumpy, he sees no value in humanity except becoming their ruler. Esmerelda Santa Monica is the stylish self-proclaimed “Empress of Thieves,” who values her own legend and the thrill of the theft over actual wealth. Both live lonely lives, the desire to become the greatest villains of all time primarily on their minds
When the two meet in simultaneous attempts to blackmail the UN, their instincts are to attempt to kill one another, but soon they discover a mutual attraction that neither thought possible. Once they begin to pool their resources, the pair seems on track to become the most successful evil-doers of all time and set out to conquer the world itself. But what happens when their villainous natures emerge, and both realize there can only be one absolute ruler of Earth? Can either be satisfied with being second to another?
To make matters worse, they must deal with the protestations of Otto’s sidekick robot SCRAP, the meddling of their fellow villains, their families, and worst of all, heroic superspy Jake Indestructible is determined to bring them both down, once and for all.
Filled with robot dinosaurs, exploding dinner parties, and villainous poker games, OTTO VON TRAPEZOID AND THE EMPRESS OF THIEVES is a hilarious sci-fi comedy that will leave you falling in love with the bad guys!

What a hoot! I love that they are both supervillains. This reminds me of some of the more campy ’60’s books and movies.
It looks different and well even the cover is! thanks for the post
That sounds like a really interesting book.
Sounds good. Never read a sci-fi comedy before.

I really loved this book. It was hilarious and smart! The wordplay between the characters made me laugh to to point of tears rolling down my eyes. It’s a fantastic send up of the whole superhero genre.

This cover fooled me for a second, Shari, but the story sounds like a fun one! Totally loved your review. Hugs…
Sci-fi and comedy? Rooting for the bad guy? Okay, totally curious now. 🙂 Looks like a fun one!
This sounds like fun! At least he plans to warn her before destroying the world.
