So, this is a sequel to The Bouncer, and it's clear at the end it's setting up for at least one more sequel, and that's pretty OK. Gordon's got an engaging voice and the characters here are pretty likeable and interesting, and it's clear the situation as it is cannot stand in several important ways; this does not feel as though it will be an interminable series. The eventual endgame is plausibly clear, here, and I'm kinda hoping Gordon gets to it pretty quickly--though I'd be willing to take some winding paths there, if need be.
