Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Stross gives readers a British superspy with a long-term girlfriend, no fashion sense, and an aversion to martinis.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“[A] solid spy/horror story.” —Publishers Weekly
“Stross’ irreverent, provocative, often unsettling and undeniably effective brew seethes with allusions to other works of literature, film, music and what-all—it’s integral to the fun. Readers familiar with Stross’ dazzling science fiction should relish this change of pace and direction.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Readers can always count on Stross for inventive plotting, a fast, well-paced narrative, and a tough look at timely issues. Bob Howard’s new adventure is no exception as he finds himself in America grappling with fundamentalist fanatics. Bob remains a likable hero—witty and with a sense of morality that often gets him into trouble—and teaming him with the unpredictable Persephone and Johnny is a brilliant way to grow the character. If you’re not reading this series, you should be: gritty speculative fiction doesn’t get much better than this.” —RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)
