    Our late-winter 2010 selection for The Secret Library is The Atrocity Archives, the first in Charles Stross' "Laundry" series. Here's the blurb from the back of the softcover:

    Bob Howard is a low-level techie working for a super-secret government agency. While his colleagues are out saving the world, he's under a desk restoring lost data. Bob's world is dull but safe, and that's the way it should have stayed; but then he went and got noticed.

    Now, Bob Howard is up to his neck in spycraft, alternative universes, dimension-hopping Nazis, Middle Eastern terrorists, Lovecraftian horror and the end of the world. Only one thing is certain: It will take more than Control-Alt-Delete to sort this mess out...

    If you've read The Atrocity Archives and would like to comment on it, feel free to do so here. We'll likely be discussing the book on the podcast in early March (yes, of 2010).

    Well, to add to the discussion, I've reviewed the book on my blog. In a nutshell, I didn't find it all the enjoyable.
