Bob Howard—a T-shirt–wearing computer geek and field agent for the super-secret British government agency The Laundry—must save the world from eldritch horrors, codenamed Jennifer Morgue, in this fast-paced spy thriller. Bob's current mission is to stop the evil Ellis Billington from achieving world domination, but he must overcome obstacles including the Gravedust device, which permits communication with the dead; destiny-entanglement protocol; banishment weapons; and Ramona Random, a lethal but beautiful agent for the U.S. counterpart to The Laundry. Billington plans to raise the eldritch horror Jennifer Morgue from the vasty deeps, and communicate with a dead warrior for the purpose of ruling the world. Blending physics and applied mathematics with the practice of summoning and demonology, this spy-meets-horror novel will keep sci-fi fans on the edge of their seats. This volume also includes a bonus story, "Pimpf," featuring agent Bob Howard in the world of virtual gaming, as well as an afterword entitled "The Golden Age of Spying."

    Stross mi piace. Magari non tantissimo, ma mi piace. Qui c'e' una storia alla James Bond, ma il protagonista non potrebbe essere piu' diverso: e' un geek. Computer, tecnologia e cose affini. Ma in piu' e' un antinegromante qualificato, e lavora per l'agenzia segreta di Sua Maesta' ('La Lavanderia') responsabile per la protezione del Regno contro la magia, gli incantamenti ed affini. Ma non e' Potter - per niente. La magia e' matematica e tecnologia, perfettamente fuse nella storia. I cattivi fanno tecno-magia nera, e il nostro eroe, in missione ai Caraibi, si trova gemellato mentalmente con un'agente rivale, anfibia, la quale veste glamour No. 3...
    Dire di piu' sarebbe uno spoiler. Niente di speciale, ma si fa leggere.
