But the deal was good: Listen to Satan\u0026#39;s story in exchange for some donuts. And Doug only half-fulfilled his part of the bargain.But maybe he should have listened better, because during his friend Bryce\u0026#39;s next scheme (theft with light to moderate treason-the usual), Doug and the rest of his friends-Lulu (the fun one) and Charlene (the not fun one)-end up with a powerful artifact, a small metal cube with world-ending power that Lulu decorated with bunnies. And now everyone wants the bunny cube, which means Doug, Bruce, Lulu, and Charlene are being pursued by a insane supermodel general, an army of sadists, a vast criminal organization, a smaller, more-in-startup-mode criminal organization, and an unstoppable killing machine-the worst kind of killing machine.Doug and his friends may be a bunch of losers who aren\u0026#39;t particularly smart or good at anything, but they have one thing going for them: a really cool name for their mercenary group. And now it\u0026#39;s up to Hellbender to save the world-well, what\u0026#39;s left of it. It\u0026#39;s pretty ruined and war-torn already. But, you know, they live there, so they kind of need it.It\u0026#39;s a mess, but that\u0026#39;s what you get for listening to Satan. Or half-listening.","author_name":"Frank J.
