I like this silly series. Glad that it is branching out to tell stories that aren't focused on the laundry and just set in the general world.

The secret agents of the Laundry Files novels were unable to stop magic becoming public knowledge - in book one of this new series by Charles Stross, the repercussions of that failure are felt by ordinary people everywhere, as the world slides unknowingly towards occult cataclysm...
