A review by mrawdon
The Apocalypse Codex by Charles Stross

3.0

I find the Laundry books enjoyable, but forgettable; I don't even recall what happened in the previous volume. This one might stick with me a little longer, as it seems like the series' overall story is slowly moving somewhere. The supporting cast is stronger than usual, too, and we get some tasty insight into how the Laundry works. The plot follows the format of half the pages of buildup, and then everything goes pear-shaped and our heroes have to scramble to stay alive. Some fine insights into Bob Howard's character and what makes him work as a hero, too. Hopefully the series will only get better from here.
