As in the first book, adventure and humor abound as Crisis and his friends try to live an honest life of villainy in a dystopian future that may resemble our own.Excerpt:"I hope that got your attention" I said pompously. I was looking around for more security or bodyguards. I found it hard to believe someone as wealthy and powerful as our quarry didn't have a single agent or bodyguard even though that's what our research showed.He raised his hand and energy coruscated about his hand and a beam of incarnadine light shot from his hand smashing into my chest, burning much of the top half of my costume. I shrugged out of the burning shirt and pretended it hadn't hurt. "Well that explains why you don't have a bodyguard" I drawled."The thing about a bodyguard more powerful than you" he explained "is he could very easily choose to take your life instead of preserve it if he gets a better offer.""Not everyone thinks like you" I said "some people when they take a job, intend to do the job, not just line their own pockets 'til a better chance comes along.""Of course, your pathological sense of loyalty. We counted on that when we looked over your psych profile.""Only pathological in the eyes of those who have none" I shot back along with firing my wrist blaster with my right arm. The feeling had come back and the bleeding had stopped around about the same time. It smashed him into the wall of their bedroom, which was larger than most homes I knew of. His trophy wife who filled out her sweats and lack of top nicely in the best way that money can buy was trying to slip away. Poison caught her and tossed her back onto the bed. "Miss" I said"Mrs." she corrected."Widow" I predicted. "We have no particular intention of killing you if you stay out of this. But you're welcome to interfere and take your chances. I'm sure I could come up with ways to feel good about your imminent demise if I tried real hard."Poison advanced smoothly on the meta CEO. "Time for the world's greatest assassin to go to work.""I'm not scared of you" he said "I've been made stronger, faster than you. I knew someday you'd come for me when I could no longer buy my way onto the 'do not cull' list."
