Down on the Farm by Charles Stross
4.0
This is a short story that takes place between books 2 and 3 of the Laundry Files. However, it can be read as a standalone story without any prior knowledge of the Laundry Files.
This book introduces the reader to Bob Howard, your typical Civil Servant from IT, who is tasked to investigated a message smuggles out of the "Farm" requesting help. He finds that things are not as it seems and goes about doing what he does best, saving the day and his life.
I thought the ending was a bit anticlimactic and was hoping for it to be a bit more drawn out. However, it is still a fun book and should be enjoyed by everyone, whether fans of the series or casual readers.
