The Fuller Memorandum by Charles Stross

Less fun, more grisly and not the thing to read on a grey rainy day. Probably wouldn't be fun in the sun, either.

A worthy continuation of the Laundry files!

Review from the reread:
This is the where things start firing on all cylinders for this series. The wit and charm are still there, but the story here is tighter and more focused

So. Much. Fun.

Not as grindingly (in a good way) trivial as the first book's address of some components, but a different variation that's well worth while too.

With this entry into his Laundry File series, Stross seems to finally be finding his footing and style with a much tighter, less clinical approach than the first entry and to a lesser extent, the previous entry. The prose and dialogue lives more, standing and striding on its own more easily now, a more robust marriage of prose and plot.
