None.  BlueTysonSS | Apr 29, 2012 |  The pyramid we last saw sitting in the middle of Chicago is still there. Unfortunately, in the nature of government "intelligence" everywhere, somebody in a suit just has to mess with it. And of course, they can't listen to the experts that managed to survive last time; or rather they don't actually want input from the ones who survived. Although kidnapping a few of them and holding their families hostage for their good behavior is okay.... Having prepared for an expedition back to Greece, Hoplite armor and all - well, you know what they say about best laid plans? Lets just say Scandinavia in winter is a wee bit chilly if you're wearing a skirt. Fun! It's been a while since I read Pyramid Scheme, so I'd forgotten a few details, but there's enough background worked in that even if you hadn't read the first installment it wouldn't have been a problem. (  ) SunnySD | Apr 22, 2010 | The Krim pyramid is still in the middle of Chicago, with an exclusion zone around it to keep anyone else from getting snatched. Unfortunately, the newly formed Pyramid Security Agency, staffed largely by incompetents, has decided to send in a team to rescue a bureaucrat who was left behind the last time. They attempt to kidnap Cruz and Mac to assist them. Things go very wrong, and a mixed bag of PSA agents, plus several of the survivors of the last mission, end up in Norse Ur-Mythology. Now Jerry, Liz, Lamont, and Marie must avert Ragnarok and figure out how to get themselves and four children home safely, hindered all the while by the PSA agents. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one. If you haven't read the first one, start there.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 141655596X, Mass Market Paperback)The Pyramid is baacckk! Well, actually, it never went away—but it had seemed to be inactive, still sitting in the middle of Chicago but no longer growing and wiping out buildings as it grew. The Krin device would have been thwarted, if things had been left as they were—but a V.I.P., who knows too many state secrets to be allowed to be missing, was left behind in the world of Greek mythology. So a power-mad Washington bureaucrat has press-ganged several of the survivors of the first excursion into the pyramid’s worlds and sent them, along with a team trained in “surgical strikes,” to either bring back the V.I.P. or, if that’s impossible, terminate him with extreme prejudice.Unfortunately, instead of returning to mythological Greece, they find themselves in the world of the Norse gods. Even if they manage to survive the enmity of Odin and his warriors, can manage to free Loki (a potential ally) and can keep the hard-drinking thunder-god Thor off the sauce long enough to help them, Ragnarok is coming, with the end of the world. And even a hard-headed maintenance man with his trusty toolkit may have trouble fixing that problem! (retrieved from Amazon Tue, 22 Jan 2013 13:01:21 -0500) "The pyramid is back! Well, actually, it never went away - but it had seemed to be inactive, still sitting in the middle of Chicago but no longer growing and wiping out buildings. The pyramidal device sent by the Krin to dominate the Earth had suffered a severe setback when the motley crew of ivory-tower academics, paratroopers, and one resourceful maintenance man had not only survived the worst that both the gods and mortals of Classical Greece and ancient Egypt could do, but had managed to escape from the ur-mythological world that the Krin pyramid had somehow brought to deadly life in a parallel dimension, bringing several beings out of myth along with them.""The Krin device would have been thwarted, if things had been left as they were - but a V.I.P., who knows too many state secrets to be allowed to be missing, was left behind in the world of Greek mythology. So a power-mad Washington bureaucrat has press-ganged several of the survivors of the first excursion into the pyramid's worlds and sent them, along with a team trained in "surgical strikes," to either bring back the V.I.P. or, if that's impossible, terminate him with extreme prejudice." "Unfortunately, instead of returning to mythological Greece, they find themselves in the world of the Norse gods. Even if they manage to survive the enmity of Odin and his warriors, can manage to free Loki (a potential ally) and can keep the hard-drinking thunder-god Thor off the sauce long enough to help them, Ragnarok is coming, with the end of the world.
