Book Summary
In this new installment of the series, the eccentric scientist Zorglub must balance caring for his daughter Zandra with the technical issues of his cloning machine. His life becomes complicated when a Russian oligarch puts a price on his head, triggering a chase that is literally multiplied by twenty. Readers will find a fast-paced adventure full of humor, out-of-control clones, and zany situations, all rendered in the characteristic artistic style of José Luis Munuera.
What is it about?
Zorglub, the famous and clumsy supervillain, tries to lead a quiet life while looking after his young daughter Zandra. However, his plans are interrupted by two problems: a glitch in his cloning machine that causes him to be multiplied by twenty, and the threat of a powerful Russian oligarch who has placed a bounty on his head. The plot follows the misadventures of Zorglub and his multiple clones as they try to escape their pursuers, resolve the chaos they have created themselves, and, in the process, keep Zandra safe. The story combines action, absurd humor, and a brisk narrative pace, with unexpected twists that maintain tension until the resolution.
