Review: Light-hearted tromp through the realms of Bureaucracy and eldritch monsters
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 7, 2013
The only problem with the this book is that it was too short.The characters in this collection of stories are bureaucrats dealing with invasions by inter-dimensional monsters.  This is much like the Laundry, but more light-hearted.  The end is NOT coming, and humanity has it own measures for dealing with the critters, AND allies to boot.  It partakes somewhat of the attitude of Laumer's Retief stories (that claim got me to purchase the book...) but lacks a Retief-like omni-competent character. All in all, I whole-hearted recommend it.
