Review: Quick and slick

I read this just before another Laundry short, "Equoid" and "Equoid" came off the worse in comparison. This is a short, sharp 'Christmas present' incursion that Stross loads with irreverence and that quirky humor Laundry stories are known for. If you like the Laundry series, this is a neat little addition. And if you are considering getting in to Stross' somewhat secret UK-based Government Department that deals with Aliens and Ghouls and Demons from the multiverse, it's a good way to check whether the style appeals to you without investing in a novel.
