The Fuller Memorandum by Charles Stross
3.0
I think, for me, the Laundry books have run their course. Especially after The Rook, which took the premise and made it much more fun.
I really dug Jennifer Morgue but found Fuller a slog for the middle 150 pages or so. The beginning and ending were great, but Bob just hanging about, letting things happen to him, eh. The Bond-ness of Jennifer is gone, replaced by office back room bullshit drama.
Is it terrible? No, and it's still written well, it's just that I am kinda done with this. I'm far more looking forward to the sequel to The Rook.
