The immensely disappointing and over-long sequel to "Operation Chaos" is just a full-on libertarian rant about the evils of government and "the goddamn IRS", with long (and utterly awful) attempts at humour involving a fantasy dwarf and a talking sword.

The sequel to Operation Chaos, our Matuchek family has grown and the challenges this time come not just from Hell-manipulated humans, but from the Moon and what dwells there. First-born daughter Valeria, rescued from Hell by her parents in Operation Chaos is now a young teenager. Together with her parent and other allies they are once again instrumental in thwarting the plans of Satan, through great effort and sacrifice on their parts.

Good, even had funny moments. But may have been better if I had read the book before it (Operation Chaos)
