 rabbit-stew | Dec 31, 2023 |  cshalizi | Jul 24, 2023 |   ) lavaturtle | Oct 20, 2021 | Instead of making a new interesting story, it's the same as before with the knob turned up a notch, reusing ideas and characters from earlier books while at the same time making the story even more complex, intricate and convoluted. (  ) bratell | Dec 25, 2020 | Initially I was a little disappointed because the much heralded return of BoB Howard as narrator was not as much as fun as anticipated: his distinctive voice seems to have largely disappeared. To some extent this is understandable since he's ten years older than when he first appeared, has seen an awful lot of horror, terror, death and destruction and has also ceased to be entirely human - but his nutso forms of expression were a great part of his appeal. Later revelations and plot developments were so unexpected, shocking and game changing in terms of the series as a whole that, in fact, this book re-invigorates a series that was flagging and makes me more excited for the next volume than I've been for quite some time. Props to Stross for taking the series alarmingly far outside its comfort zone. (  ) Arbieroo | Jul 17, 2020 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Bob Howard's career in the Laundry, the secret British government agency dedicated to protecting the world from the supernatural, has involved brilliant hacking, ancient magic, and combat with creatures of pure evil. It has also involved a wearying amount of paperwork and office politics, and his expense reports are still a mess. Now, following the invasion of Yorkshire by the Host of Air and Darkness, the Laundry's existence has become public, and Bob is being trotted out on TV to answer pointed questions about elven asylum seekers. What neither Bob nor his managers have foreseen is that their organization has earned the attention of a horror far more terrifying than any demon: a government looking for public services to privatize. There are things in the Laundry's assets that big business would simply love to get its hands on . . . Inch by inch, Bob Howard and his managers are forced to consider the truly unthinkable: a coup against the British government itself. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I loved the chapters from Mo, especially when they included Cassie (Yesyes!) and Mhari. During this installment they became my favorite team in the series. (
