The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Charles Stross is definitely on my “Read *mostly* everything from this author” list, well, except for his short-stories…
I have power read through the entire Laundry collection (The Atrocity Archives, Jennifer Morgue, and the Fuller Memorandium), and have liked every one of them.
The Atrocity Archives introduces us to Bob, one of the IT staff, in the Laundry. Due to his manager, and other events, he is thrust into field work, and becomes one of the more reliable field agents…
The series combines humor, Lovecraftian horror, and a dash of super secret agent, to make an excellent series.
Now so far, I haven’t been pleased with Charles Stross’s short story collections. I have read his Laundry Short stories and thought they were excellent… So far, I can certainly recommend the Laundry Series, along with the Merchant Prince Series…
