The Rhesus Chart

Narrado por: Gideon Emery

As a newly appointed junior manager within the Laundry - the clandestine organization responsible for protecting Britain against supernatural threats - Bob Howard is expected to show some initiative to help the agency battle the forces of darkness. But shining a light on things best left in the shadows is the last thing Bob wants to do - especially when those shadows hide an occult parasite spreading a deadly virus. Traders employed by a merchant bank in London are showing signs of infection - an array of unusual symptoms such as superstrength and -speed, an uncanny talent for mind control, an extreme allergic reaction to sunlight, and an unquenchable thirst for blood.

Stross best horror writer around today

I love this writer, he brings a touch of humor and great characters then weaves a blood curdling plot around them that is creepy, very detailed and realistic, that leaves you with the heebie jeebies at the end. This is his best laundry files book, in my opinion. I replayed the last two hours as soon as I finished, a first for me. Ingenious, funny, horrifying. He's created his own genre. Brilliant.

Bob works at middle management.

Another laundry file story that keeps going from start to finish with twist & turns.

Best in series!!!!

Amazing!!! Love the Laundry File books!!! Can't wait for the next one!!! Definitely recommend this book and series to anyone!!

A Little Different

Not the best one of the bunch, felt oddly.. repetitive? Also, wow, so much sex and office jargon. which has to be the weirdest additions to join together to a story ever.

One of the best Laundry Files yet!

Stross delivers again, with newly turned vampires using agile methodology to come to grips with their sudden lifestyle change, unspeakable horrors that range from soul-burning alien demons to officious bureaucratic committee meetings, and a wry wit we haven't seen the likes of since Doug Adams shuffled off this mortal coil.
