A 2010 GoodReads Readers’ Choice Nominee for Science Fiction
National bestselling author Charles Stross brings back Bob Howard—“a British super spy with a long-term girlfriend, no fashion sense, and an aversion to martinis” (San Francisco
Chronicle).
Bob Howard is taking a much needed break from the field to catch up on his filing in The Laundry’s archives when a top secret dossier known as The Fuller Memorandum vanishes—along with his boss,
who the agency’s executives believe stole the file.
Determined to discover exactly what the memorandum contained, Bob runs afoul of Russian agents, ancient demons, and the apostles of a hideous faith, who have plans to raise a very unpleasant undead
entity known as the Eater of Souls …
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“The satisfying ending should appeal to fans of gory horror while making them question the definition of humanity.” —Publishers Weekly
“Gideon Emery
is an engaging narrator who makes Howard a down-to-earth spy with
moments of introspection and nonviolent tendencies. Emery’s offhand
manner keeps the narration light even when bad events happen. He rides
with the tongue-in-cheek humor without overdoing it.” —AudioFile
“The action stays at a high pitch from start to finish without sacrificing character development, and the carefully crafted plot seamlessly weaves mystery and horror elements into a tasty stew that will certainly leave fans old and new longing for another helping.” —RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)
Charles Stross is the author of the bestselling Merchant Princes series, the Laundry series, and several stand-alone novels, including Glasshouse, Accelerando, and Saturn’s
Children. Born in Leeds, England, in 1964, Stross studied in London and Bradford, earning degrees in pharmacy and computer science. Over the next decade and a half he worked as a pharmacist, a
technical writer, a software engineer, and eventually as a prolific journalist covering the IT industry. His short fiction began attracting wide attention in the late 1990s; his first novel,
Singularity Sky, appeared in 2003. He has subsequently won the Hugo Award twice. He lives with his wife in Edinburgh, Scotland, in a flat that is slightly older than the state of Texas.
