Bringing the story to a grand close with all the irreverence of the opener. what's not to like? A feel good, happy set of adventures.

The second of two books about The Logical Magician, this one recounts how Jack Collins has to find a way to stop The Old Man Of The Mountain from auctioning off a deadly anthrax serum. Along the way his fiancé, Merlin's daughter, is kidnapped by an Afreet, Jack encounters some old enemies, and meets some new ones before he triumphs.
There are several in-jokes for the cognoscenti, but that knowledge is not necessary to enjoy this yarn.

This book wasn't as good as the first book. I think I did not like this book as much as the first because I was not as familiar with the mythology in this book. It got sort of confusing. It was still an entertaining read and I enjoyed the modern technology versus magic and mythology aspect but I still liked the first book better.
