An excellent end to the series ( ) I found myself disliking every character in the book. All of them. The Laundry Files is no longer fun for me. In general, Stross has zero clue about women in general. Mo was a happy accident or wishful thinking on my part. He reduced every single woman in this book to sexy magic toy stereotypes and gibbering idiots. He even threw away a really cool, fun, and strong elf-girl to a disabled, manic-pixie girl stereotype and sucked the fun right out of her. How does a government agency as powerful as The Laundry (Yes, yes, it's no longer the same agency, yadda-yadda. Except it's the same characters/people.), led by a powerful entity, fail to send in another powerful entity when challenged? Don't know. After the ridiculous conclusion of this book, I don't care. I ground my teeth through this whole book, and I'm not doing it again. The closer we get to Armageddon, the darker these tales become. Gone are the days of light-hearted quips about system administration and PowerPoint, now replaced by existential dread and a political dystopia. Sometimes I yearn for the easy fun of the olden days. But this is still a gripping tale, and I can't wait to see how this series will finish. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheThe Laundry (9)
"The arrival of vast, alien, inhuman intelligences reshaped the landscape fo human affairs across the world, and the United Kingdom is no exception. Things have changed in Britain since the dread elder god Nyarlathotep ascended to the rank of Prime Minister. Mhari Murphy, recently elevated to the House of Lords and head of the Lords Select Committee on Sanguinary Affairs (think vampires), finds herself in direct consultation with the creeping chaos, who directs her to lead a team of disgraced Laundry personnel into the dark heart of America. It seems the Creeping Chaos is concerned about foreign relations. A thousand-mile-wild storm system has blanketed the midwest, and the President is nowhere to be found. In fact, for reasons unknown the people of America are forgetting that the executive branch ever existed. The government has been infiltrated by the shadowy Black Chamber, and the Pentagon and NASA have been refocused on the problem of summoning Cthulhu. Somewhere, the Secret Service battle to stay awake, to remind the President who he is, and to stay one step ahead of the vampiric dragnet that's searching for him" -- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
