The Fuller Memorandum by Charles Stross
5.0
Boy HOWDY! This series is science fiction/urban fantasy A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!! I need to get all of these to the top of my Simply Audio wishlist ASAP!
I think I find it easier to listen to the thrill-ride that is The Laundry, that government agency that protects England from the things that go bump in the night. Each book is meticulously told, with intricatre detail that I might get lost if reading in print. But listening to the story, I can go back to the previous track and have Gideon Emory tell me again. I let him pronounce the (to me) rather unpronounceable terms, plus I get the creepy atmosphere of the story listening to Gideon's versatile voice.
This one is grim, a thriller with scenes that had me scrunching up my nose and wincing in horror. It's a bit difficult to 'splain, so I won't. You can read the synopsis as well as anyone. Just know that it is superbly told and I can't wait to listen to more from the series.
Big ol' definite recommend.
