Well I loved this book, McLean has a gift for dialogue and characterization. I admit the book needed more editing but it did not diminish my love of the book. I was hoping I could find the next book Hostile Takeover in paperback but alas only can find it in e-book format. I would like to see what others thought of this book.

I liked the basis of the book from the point of view of a consultant to supervillains.

I enjoyed the foibles of Edwin's clients - and his frustration in dealing with them. And Topper as the consummate evil lawyer was wonderful.

I may check out the sequels if I came across them cheap...

I am glad you liked it Jim; the sequel to this book is available in e-format. I think it is pretty short too. I would love to get it in paperback but cannot find it.
