A review by geekwayne
The Jennifer Morgue (Laundry Files #2) by Charles Stross
4.0
James Bond meets Cthulu with the most unlikeliest of heroes, a desk driving IT genius.
This is the second in The Laundry series, and while I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the first one, there is still much to recommend here. Playing around with the James Bond tropes was fun, and the death by Powerpoint scene was genius.
Stross has created another winner in the series here. Along with this, I read the short story PIMPF which I highly recommend. Bob gets a PFY (or pimply-faced youth) as an intern and before you know it, he has to save him from a video game plot. Lots of humor abounds.
