This was a story written very much in the style of the HP Lovecraft Cthulhu mythos with various modern(ish) pop references thrown in. If you would like that, this could be the book/series for you.
Even though it is well written, it just isn't for me. Don't get me wrong, the story is ok, it just isn't *my* thing. Stross is an excellent writer, very detailed, and engaging, but the rest of the books are very far down on my "To Be Read" list.
The audiobook version also had a bonus novella (Concrete Jungle) included.… (mais)
