wonderful mimicking of Ian Fleming’s style of writing, Stross
produces a novel that also evokes Lovecraftian overtones that is delightfully

In true Bond style, Bob is (reluctantly) partnered with
an American agent – in this case a stunningly beautiful woman who also just
happens to be a soul-sucking succubus from another dimension. Which, being the

he stop the bad guys and come through this at best shaken, he must totally avoid
being stirred towards getting the girl…
Corwyn Allen continues selections from the adventures of Bob Howard, geekish demonology hacker extraordinaire, from Charles Stross' Laundry Files series, live in voice.
