The deal doesn't stay simple, as each move Jon and Lobo make results in more danger and more enemies. The situation grows even more complicated when a beautiful woman with an unclear agenda joins them in their quest. The best con man Jon's ever known, ...

"'Slanted Jack' is the second Jon and Lobo book. While at the beginning I was excited to adventure with Jon Moore and his sarcastic sidekick, Lobo, I didn't feel the same connection and punch as the first novel.
Slanted Jack is a con artist, and though the whole book moves through an elaborate con, the plot didn't seem complicated enough. Several additions to the 'team' cut into precious time alone with Jon and Lobo. I still enjoyed the book, but I'm glad I'd already read the third installment and loved it, because I would hate to have had my interest wane here.
In the third book 'Overthrowing Heaven' Van Name really hits his stride with these two characters, whereas it feels as if he falters a little in this one. There are some great scenes though - the halo luge is awesome and as always Jon has some neat tricks up his sleeve and Lobo can be counted upon as his always faithful companion."
