_Just Another Judgment Day_, Simon Green

Nine books in, and it's becoming formulaic. The first chapter is a self-contained short story. Then three or four scenes to connect to the multi-volume story arc, 160ish pages of the main plot (which can be divided into
Introducing The Villain,
Setting Up The Consequences of Failure,
Establishing That This Won't Be Easy,
Failing The First Time Out,
Getting Out The Big Guns,
Whoops, That Didn't Work,
and Finally Plan B,
ending with another few pages of arc.

Which is not to say that this isn't enjoyable for what it is, just that it doesn't say anything new about these characters.
