The Atrocity Archives
CHARLES STROSS
Imagine that mathematics and magic are the
same thing. Also imagine that all those people in madhouses in
[author:Lovecraft, H.P.|7025658] stories are right and there are other
universes where ancient malevolent entities are just waiting for an invitation to
visit for a quick massacre of humanity before breakfast...
...plainly all nations would have a secret
agency dedicated to protecting the public and keeping them blithely unaware of
the outrageously dangerous world they really live in.
Enter Bob Howard, junior occult spook in
the Laundry, Britain's most secret and most magical intelligence agency, armed
with a palm pilot and a pigeon's foot, ready (OK, not very ready) to protect us
from whatever sinister forces are abroad, whether they be terrorists, possessed
people or Nazis from another dimension.
Great fun if all this nonsense sounds fun
to you, probably really bad if it doesn't.
