Book #28: The Fuller Memorandum by Charles Stross
Best one so far.
I really do enjoy autopope's Laundry novels. Probably because he ties together a number of different fields which either interest me or of which I have a certain amount of professional experience. Yes, I've read too many spy thrillers, played too many Call of Chthulu games and given too many computer science lectures not to appreciate them. In particular this time I did appreciate the NecronomiPod and the reactions it provoked in a number of characters.
Now I'm back in the UK I'll be picking up a copy of the Laundry RPG. I ran something very similar way back when (using the Call of Chthulu ruleset just for the sanity rules) so it'll be interesting to see how a 'legit' version measures up.
Definitely one for the re-read pile.
