Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

In this alternately chilling and hilarious sequel to The Atrocity Archives (2004) from Hugo-winner Stross, Bob Howard is a computer übergeek employed by the Laundry, a secret British agency assigned to clean up incursions from other realities caused by the inadvertent manipulation of complex mathematical equations: in other words, magic. In 1975, the CIA used Howard Hughes's Glomar Explorer in a bungled attempt to raise a sunken Soviet submarine in order to access the Jennifer Morgue, an occult device that allows communication with the dead. Now a ruthless billionaire intends to try again, even if by doing so he awakens the Great Old Ones, who thwarted the earlier expedition. It's up to Bob and a collection of British eccentrics even Monty Python would consider odd to stop the bad guy and save the world, while getting receipts for all expenditures or else face the most dreaded menace of all: the Laundry's own auditors. Stross has a marvelous time making eldritch horror appear commonplace in the face of bureaucracy. (Dec.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun but a bit too cute this time around, Jun 24 2009

By	Keith Fountain (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was good fun, like its predecessor the Atrocity Archives, but it veered too much away from the acerbic wit and Generation X sensibility of "Archives" and too much toward Pratchett-style fluff. The core premise, of the hero caught up in a Bond story, was not strong enough to sustain an entire novel. On the bright side, Stross expanded the world in which it is set in some interesting ways, with the introduction of the Deep Ones into the story. What I'd like to see in the next novel is more exploration of the clash between 20th-Century bureaucracy and 21st Century Gen-X pragmatism in the face of the impending crisis which Stross hints at. A return to the harder connection between quantum physics and the occult (masterfully described in the short story which accompanies "Archives", much less so in the short story accompaning "Jennifer Morgue") would also be welcome. In all, however, "Jennifer Morgue" is worth buying if you liked "Archives".

One final thought: this would, on several levels, make a great TV show.
