The second book in the Working-Class Superheroes series.

Army vet Dwayne Sullivan has escaped from prison in order to keep an other-dimensional artifact out of the wrong hands. To do this, he needs the help of superheroes, powerful meta-human do-gooders who are the heart and soul of Hammer City.

But those heroes are being recruited by General Gordon, the very same military general who imprisoned Dwayne in the first place.

Will Gordon be able to prove to his superiors that superheroes have value in the modern world?

Will Speed Chicken and Cambio keep the mythical Staff of Osiris away from an alien warlord?

What role will Dwayne's son Zeke, who doubles as the (super-powerless) costumed vigilante Wombat have in his father's quest?

I enjoyed the writing in this book more then the first. It stayed more on a set path and was a quick and enjoyable listen. Not completely feeling some of the story lines and hook-ups, but looking forward to see where the superhero arc goes in book 3.
Thrilled to hear the narration performed by B.J. Whimpey again. Always nice to have the characters represented consistently from book to book in a series, and Mr. Whimpey adds a delightful amount of life and drama to each.

Better than the first!

This round saw the story updated with the introduction of Egyptian gods. While this did manage to shake up the DC-style superhero themes a bit, I didn't enjoy this title as much as the first.

I know I mentioned that my biggest issue with the first book was the adult themes creeping in to what seems to be a middle grade read. It was a bit worse this go around. Also, the character development just wasn't there. That's okay if this is a kids book, but not if it's meant for adults.

I feel like this is a story with potential, and I love Descoteaux' zaniness, but I think it would work better if it targeted a younger audience and was a little cleaner or if it's geared to an older audience and had more nuance.

An okay sequel that doesn't live up to part 1
