A review by misterjay
The Rhesus Chart by Charles Stross

5.0

Add to the list of things I shouldn’t admit to in public: I learn more economic and mathematical theory from Charles Stross’ books, in general, and the Bob Howard Laundry books in particular, than I did in all my years of schooling, much less the scattershot education I’ve taken on since walking away from university, surfeit of diplomas in hand.

In this latest volume of the Laundry Files, Bob Howard is on the search for vampires. The thing is, everyone knows vampires don't exist. Which is troubling, because Bob has found a whole string of victims that fit the profile. Kind of, anyway. Because, like all the Laundry books, the plot is twisty, the math arcane, and the slang obscure, the three of which taken together are very good reasons to read the book.

The stakes (ahem) are bigger than ever and Bob is shaping up to be quite the badass. Highly recommended.
