    Hi Denizens of sf.written,
    This is an older book in the series which for some reason I did not read earlier despite my enthusiasm for the Laundry Files. This introduces
    our protagonist, Bob Howard, as a action nerd who saves several lives by killing a fool. Then he is sent to California where he meets "Mo" who
    will become his lady love. Then off to a dying universe where he thwarts
    a big energy eater and rescues Mo with the help of a commando team.
    Then he crushes with help a scheme to make the surveillance cameras
    termination camera as well. Angelton becomes his boss and he is
    taxed with hard work and tested constantly
    This book has a foreword by Mcleod and an afterword by
    Stross on the subject of horror stories and spies.

    Everyone who likes Bob in other stories should read this.
    I got my copy at the San Francisco Public Library in the SF section
    but it should be available in many formats at reasonable prices.

    bliss
