The Apocalypse Codex is the fourth in the Laundry series of books by Charles Stross
, and every bit as good as the first three, though not as humorous (or perhaps I am getting used to his wry take on summoning demon-spawn from the dripping maw of ichor that is Human Resources). In this latest outing, Bob Howard (Robert E. Howard, the author of the Conan novels, was a great friend of H. P. Lovecraft, whose elder gods are the ultimate evil of this series), junior computational demonologist for the Laundry looks into a born-again evangelical intent upon hastening the Second Coming..but of what he has no clue.
Bob does.
OK, no more hints. Well, except that this assignment is kind of a training exercise for Bob, with all the frightening implications of that statement.
Read the book; if you haven’t read the others read them first:
These links take you to the Amazon page for the paperbacks; all are available as audiobooks, which I also enjoyed, but are pricier. Kindle versions of all are available.
