Despite having a very positive relationship with Amazon since 2009, Boland sued Amazon in August for allowing third-party sellers to run amok with his 2011 sci-fi thriller, Hominid. Sellers are marketing fake used/new editions that go as far back as the late 1700s and at a markup 66x the price of a new book.

REVIEW: The King’s Man Is a Lavish and Exciting New Entry Into the Franchise

New trailer for The King's Man

The Kingsman franchise isn't for everyone, and that is something we can all recognize. It is a commentary on the spy genre that is sometimes too lost in itself to really make a clear statement, but for whatever reason, there are fans (like myself) who flock to its absurdity and love it for everything that it is. And that goes for The King's Man, as well.
