Dark Humor, Spy Thriller, & Cthulhu Mythos

Charles Stross’s second Laundry Files novel does not disappoint. Our hero, Bob Howard, is a Computational Demonologist working for a British Civil Service known as “The Laundry.” This organization works to protect humanity from the dark forces outside our reality that H. P. Lovecraft warmed us about.

In this novel, Bob gets sent into a James Bond like situation, where a mad billionaire seeks to obtain forbidden alien technology. This acquisition will lead to world domination! Bob has only a few problems being Bond-like. He’s a slobbish hacker, is in a relationship, and hates martinis.

The main story is good in itself, but this book also contains a unrelated short story about Bob’s new intern, and an essay on the history and ideas behind the James Bond phenomenon.
