Charles Stoss’s The Apocalypse Codex is published next month (Orbit £7.99):
“Bob Howard used to fix computers for the
Laundry – the branch of the British Secret Service that deals with otherworldly
threats – but those days are over. He’s not only been promoted to active
service but actually survived missions against cultists, enemy spies and
tentacled horrors from other dimensions. Willingly or not, he’s on his way up
in this dangerous organisation. When a televangelist with connections to 10
Downing Street seems able to work miracles, the Laundry takes an interest. But
an agency that answers to the Prime Minister can’t spy on him themselves, and
Bob’s shadowy superiors come up with a compromise – they hire ‘freelancers’,
with Bob in charge.”
