From Eroica with Love 8

The opening to this volume is priceless. The Director opens with a joke about how Klaus has 26 children anxiously awaiting his return to Germany, and Klaus is shocked since he thinks that perhaps the Director is speaking of… other children he might have been unaware of.
Seven Days in September is quite good. Dorian and Klaus get more face time than they did in the past storyline, which is always much appreciated. I prefer it when they’re forced into teamwork in various situations, because somehow the situations always turn out to be homoerotic. Klaus seems to be rejecting Dorian more than usual, and I was sad that the opportunity for the pair to travel together was lost when Dorian had to look after the painting in the plane. The entire plane scene was awesome, and the fact that Klaus tricked the Russians the way he did, and the fact that Dorian tricked everyone the way he did was quite good.
Also, both had to break character slightly for modes of transportation, though Klaus dashing away on a horse was a bit more heroic than the bike that the Earl was riding.
Bad marks for DORIAN CUTTING HIS HAIR. It no longer flows like it should. I’m so sad.
