After accelerando... It's tough. First off I'm writing this review from an iPad. So it may come across terse and truncated. Please be kind. This is a fun if not dated series. I like the combo of witchcraft and computers. And the third Reich seems a bit cliched. But I'm not a big hitler-history person. So what's my point? Accelerando; it's like he wrote his "wind up bird chronicle" for sci-fi. All novels before and after are precursors. I'm not suggesting he quit writing, but it's hard to follow the insanity and pure pleasure of accelerando. So to mr. Stross, I say, keep at it. Because I'll keep reading.

Confusing. It started off pretty good but got mired in the high tech psychobabble.

First Book in the Laundry Files Series. The opening volume in the Laundry Files introduces us to Bob Howard, who is a UK civil servant who works for a secret agency, known as The Laundry. He is sort of a computer nerd, and sort of a reluctant spy. His mission is to protect the world from cosmic evil, and to avoid the pitfalls of office politics. The Laundry is an agency that wards off Lovecraftian entities, prevents possessions, and deals with the modern occult in order to keep the citizens safe and blissfully ignorant of the yawning gulfs of madness that lie in parallel dimensions. This is a bit of a spy novel, a bit of a horror novel, and is also darkly humorous. This is a hard combination to pull off, but Mr. Stross does so with flying colors! This series brings H. P. Lovecraft’s horrors into the modern age of information technology, and does so in a way that carries the reader right along with the adventures of our hapless protagonist. Bob has a quick wit, and a wry comment, as he saves someone from the horrors from beyond, and sometimes himself from the horrors of the bureaucracy he works in.

No book only image. There is no book; only an image. Reporting to Apple — total scam.
