Good second book of this series

Funny as always, interesting to read, fast paced spy plot a la James Bond, actually, and especially. The antagonist hopes to secure his machinations by running a super hero geas, which works until it doesn't, of course. I especially liked the afterword about James Bond novels, which explains why this book feels so much like a Bond / Fleming spy novel. I will definitely read on in this series, but I liked the first book more, actually.
