Diabolical Masterminds by Rodney Marshall

Post by Big Bear »

Another new book, sounds great. I will be ordering this week.

Diabolical Masterminds, Rodney Marshall's guide to the Emma Peel b/w season, is published today in hardback and paperback. A mix of facts, observations, opinions, quotes and some insights from his father's time working on the series. With a stunning cover by Ciara Shaw.

I have a question for Rodney (if he still visits this forum) or for anyone who has also read Rodney's previous books.
I own a lot of Avengers books, including Rodney's own Subversive Champagne and Bright Horizons (to name just the two that are focused on the Emma Peel b/w season).
Does Diabolical Masterminds offer anything of interest to me (apart from the indeed stunning cover)?
Thank you for your input.

Thank you Franky.
I'm not much of a Twitter user and I can't send him a direct message via Twitter, but I tried tweeting (including his handle) and we'll see.

I doubt it, he's only updated that 3 times in 5 months. He updates Twitter several times a day with lots of musings and photos about ITC shows, and I've been conversing with him on DM there.
