Bob Howard is a computer-hacker desk jockey, who has more than enough trouble keeping up with the endless paperwork he has to do on a daily basis. He should never be called on to do anything remotely heroic. But for some reason, he is.

reviewed The Atrocity Archives (Laundry Files, #1) by Charles Stross

None

Entertaining thriller combining Cthulhu mythos, spy thrillers and computer geekdom. Most of the jokes dealing with math/computers or workings of (Brittish) bureaucracy went over my head which is why I did not really get immersed in the book.

As a fan of Cthulhu and modern magick theme I will probably read further volumes of the Laundry files series at some point.
