Hugo Award-winning author Charles Stross continues to make a name for himself in the sci-fi genre. The Jennifer Morgue is an extension of Stross’ award-winning novella The Concrete Jungle.

Bob Howard is a special operative for the British agency called The Laundry, and his task is to stop a rogue billionaire from using an artifact, known as Gravedust, with the power to reanimate the dead. The U.S. Black Agency sends the lethal Ramona Random to aid Bob’s mission, but she seems to have a different agenda.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"[A]lternately chilling and hilarious....It's up to Bob and a collection of British eccentrics even Monty Python would consider odd to stop the bad guy and save the world, while getting receipts for all expenditures or else face the most dreaded menace of all: the Laundry's own auditors. Stross has a marvelous time making eldritch horror appear commonplace in the face of bureaucracy." ( Publishers Weekly)

Laundry series are very well written, and at times, even believable, as far as books on magic go. This book by far one of the funniest in the bunch! I've relistened to chapter 1 and 5 multiple times and they still make me laugh! Gideon Emery is simply FANTASTIC narrator, bringing the jokes and characters to life, and the storyline to a plausible level! Looking forward to Book 14 but saddened that it's the conclusion of the series. Thank you, Charles and Gideon!

witty and full of action from the get go!

It started off strong and was pretty interesting. I get that the author doesn't want to go too far into detail about what Jennifer Morgue is and what's the purpose of it. But he leaves too much unsaid and everything gets murky.

Great concept but little payoff
