The Jennifer Morgue: Book 2 in The Laundry Files: Laundry Files
Autor Charles Strossen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iul 2013
Bob Howard is an IT expert and occasional field agent for the Laundry, the branch of Her Majesty's Secret Service that deals with occult threats.
Dressed (grudgingly) in a tux and sent to the Caribbean, he must infiltrate a millionaire's yacht in order to prevent him from violating a treaty that will bring down the wrath of an ancient underwater race upon humanity's head. Partnered with a gorgeous American agent who's actually a soul-sucking succubus from another dimension, Bob's mission (should he choose to accept it) is to stop the bad guys, avoid getting the girl, and survive - shaken, perhaps, but not stirred.

Recenzii
Brilliantly disturbing and funny at the same time
Charles Stross owns this field, and his vast, cool intellect has launched yet another mad, sly entertainment that will strangle the hell out of anything else on offer right now
Stross at the top of his game - which is to say, few do it better
Alternately chilling and hilarious
Ferociously enjoyable
Some agents have all the fun.
Others save the world.
