Book Description
Thirtysomething and living with his parents - rent-free, jobless, and on the dole - life is stress-free and easy. However, watching the world go by has not made Steve any less opinionated, especially on important and pressing issues such as social networking sites and daytime TV.

But fate is about to deal another hand. Motivated by the fear of losing his benefits and precious beer money, and enticed by an exotic-sounding location, Steve takes a job that is not quite what it seems . . .

Thrust into a surreal world where international organised crime is regulated by red-tape bureaucracy and health and safety gone mad, Steve finds himself employed by the megalomaniac Dr Won Doin who is hell bent on that old cliché of world domination.

Guns, girls and paperwork – Is it possible to be bad at being bad? Steve is about to find out.

Reviews
“This book has three themes which could easily make it fall apart but it doesn't. It’s held together with tight prose and so many laughs that I giggled through most of the book!”

“Cracking read and royally takes the P**s out of all that dreadful management double speak that litters our lives. Not only that, it throws in some seriously funny one liners.”

"It is authors like Mark that make me a fan of reading the "Lad Lit" genre"
