5/29/2023 0 Comments The fuller memorandumBob is not your typical suave secret agent he is a civil servant. Once again, Stross combines the most hilarious parts of British bureaucracy with the spoofiest of James Bond spoofs. If that’s not bad enough, Bob’s boss, Angleton, goes missing, and Bob is suspended from work with pay pending an investigation into a civilian fatality he accidentally caused. (One guess what this entity does.) The cultists are being manipulated by a bigger, badder, blacker order that wants to bring on CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN (also known as the end of the world) sooner rather than later. In The Fuller Memorandum, Bob and Mo become tangled up in a plot by some cultists to steal Teapot, also known as the Eater of Souls. The two series have a lot in common: each book is a self-contained, madcap thriller with supernatural elements while overall, the series mythology continues to grow and head towards some kind of apocalyptic climax. It’s starting to rank up there with the Dresden Files as far as urban fantasy goes. It’s safe to say that the Laundry Files is my favourite of Charles Stross’ series.
