The President has an Academy Award and Who’s the Prime Minister of England?

The Labyrinth Index by Charles Stross

May 21, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

So it turns out that you can have a decent Laundry Files novel without Bob Howard as central figure; The Labyrinth Index follows Bob’s colleague Mhari Murphy who was turned into a vampire in a previous novel (one I haven’t read) thanks to a computer program/advanced math/parasite infection thing.
