The Fifth Laundry Files Novel is Bloody Good!. “The Rhesus Chart” is the fifth full novel in the Laundry Files Series. In these books, Charles Stross takes us into the world of the UK’s secret government agency which protects its citizens from supernatural horrors from the darker parts of the multiverse. The protagonist of this novel is Bob Howard, former computer nerd, who has taken up the practice of computational demonology. In short, he’s becoming a accomplished necromancer. He’s also having to deal with all the red tape that being a junior manager in a civil service organization entails. He’s just started a research project into what should be a exceedingly rare neurological syndrome, when he discovers there’s a cluster of cases that just appeared in London. This leads him to the cause, which is impossible. It’s impossible because everyone clearly knows there are no such things as vampires. The story of the Laundry and its staff are rife with dry dark humor that is characteristic of this series. It’s interesting to watch Bob grow as a character, but there is generally a terrible price to be paid as he becomes more powerful and proficient. In spite of all the darkness, Bob tries to do the best he can for those he deals with, even his crazy ex-girlfriend. Or the stray cat that decides to adopt him...

The stars are crowding in.. Time in Bob Howard's universe is ticking away. It's not all hearts and flowers, but still a good read. I did find myself flipping numerous pages of explanatory text I didn't need (because I started early with The Atrocity Archives). Stross writes these tales as free-standing stories which is a plus for new converts, but (as discussed by other reviewers) the explanatory text gets tedious if you've been reading them as they come out over the last decade. I just used the NEXT button a lot faster in places. This book could be 2/3 it's current size. No easy answer, but still glad to give Charlie my $$.
