Turns out... there's a good reason for that. From the perspective of someone in software development, the maddening extent at which the Scrum operates is amusing and all too close to home. After twisting first computer science and spy stuff into this world, it was neat to see the new topic. My one real complaint with this book is that I think it's out of order. It's significantly smaller in scope than the previous two books where I was hoping for even more escalation towards CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN, rather than something somewhat more down to home. Although on the other hand, a few of the events in this book need the previous books to make sense. Still it's weird. Now, sadly, I've finished the Bob focused Laundry Files novels released to date. So it goes. I look forward to the next. (  ) jpv0 | Jul 21, 2021 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"As a newly appointed junior manager within the Laundry--the clandestine organization responsible for protecting Britain against supernatural threats--Bob Howard is expected to show some initiative to help the agency battle the forces of darkness. But shining a light on things best left in the shadows is the last thing Bob wants to do--especially when those shadows hide an occult parasite spreading a deadly virus. Traders employed by a merchant bank in London are showing signs of infection--an array of unusual symptoms such as superstrength and -speed, an uncanny talent for mind control, an extreme allergic reaction to sunlight, and an unquenchable thirst for blood. While his department is tangled up in bureaucratic red tape (and Buffy reruns), debating how to stop the rash of vampirism, Bob digs deeper into the bank's history--only to uncover a bloodcurdling conspiracy between men and monsters.."-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

While previous volumes in this series were very good, this one is a step down. Aside from an uptick in plot errors, there's also that the basic plot is a retread. While the nature of the oppo is different, it's still at core a case of "internal threat comes to a head". (
