    About this audiobook

    LONDON CAN DRAIN THE LIFE OUT OF YOU . . .

    Bob Howard is an intelligence agent working his way through the ranks of the top secret government agency known as 'the Laundry'. When occult powers threaten the realm, they'll be there to clean up the mess - and deal with the witnesses.

    There's one kind of threat that the Laundry has never come across in its many decades, and that's vampires. Mention them to a seasoned agent and you'll be laughed out of the room.

    But when a small team of investment bankers at one of Canary Wharf's most distinguished financial institutions discovers an arcane algorithm that leaves them fearing daylight and craving O positive, someone doesn't want the Laundry to know. And Bob gets caught right in the middle.

    Charles Stross

    CHARLES STROSS (he/him) is a full-time science fiction writer and resident of Edinburgh, Scotland. He has won three Hugo Awards for Best Novella, including for the Laundry Files tale “Equoid.” His work has been translated into over twelve languages. His novels include the bestselling Merchant Princes series, the Laundry series (including Locus Award finalist The Dilirium Brief), and several stand-alones including Glasshouse, Accelerando, and Saturn's Children. Like many writers, Stross has had a variety of careers, occupations, and job-shaped catastrophes, from pharmacist (he quit after the second police stakeout) to first code monkey on the team of a successful dot-com startup (with brilliant timing, he tried to change employers just as the bubble burst) to technical writer and prolific journalist covering the IT industry. Along the way he collected degrees in pharmacy and computer science, making him the world’s first officially qualified cyberpunk writer.

      The romantic subplots in these books are absolutely disgusting as Stross keeps rewriting the same deranged woman who is 1) desperate to have sex with him at inappropriate moments despite him being no James Bond but a desk geek with likely a potbelly and acne, 2) exaggeratedly seductive, 3) super insecure and thinking he's about to cheat or just cheated on her and therefore 4) attacks the other woman with the intention to kill her over "keep your hands off him", 5) confusing business with their sex life and reacting inappropriately in life and death circumstances. I don't know if Stross thinks this is what normality looks like because he's had some seriously sick role models in his life or just thinks this is sexy behavior and necessary in these books, but boy would these books be so much better with no romantic subplots at all.
    • 5/5
      Series developing from strength to strength. Perfect narrator. Combination of spy story, office politics, geek humour, and supernatural horror with an only slightly plausible link to physics and maths. Thoroughly enjoyable entertainment.
