About this listen
Bob Howard is a computer-hacker desk jockey, who has more than enough trouble keeping up with the endless paperwork he has to do on a daily basis. He should never be called on to do anything remotely heroic. But for some reason, he is.

better than I would have thought
I came apon this by accident, and I wasn't sure what I had found or what to expect.
a slow start to be sure.
However, I was pleasantly surpised with an easy listen and decent story.

wish I had known about these when they were new
my younger early/mid-2000s self would have loved these to pieces. the idea of a sci-fi eldritch magic spy thriller is so over the top that the story could have easily failed the premise, but they don't disappoint. they're similar in tone but more sober and straightforward than Accelerando and the Escaton books. it's like BOFH meets Douglas Adams meets Ian Fleming. good fun for sure. some of the nerdier jokes and references (my favourite: "she ended up in a send mail configuration course by mistake. it was weeks before she stopped twitching anytime someone mentioned rules.") will delight any overworked sysadmin or helpdesk jockey.

Great book - amazing series
As an Eldritch horror myself, I approve of this book. Seriously, classic British espionage meets the world of HP Lovecraft? Perfect match. The narrator does a phenomenal job and was perfectly cast for the portrayal of this series. If you like James Bond and you like a good mystery, if you enjoy horror and like to stay up at night questioning what is really out there, this book is where you start.
