The Atrocity Archives: Book 1 in The Laundry Files ペーパーバック – 2007/7/5

4.2 5つ星のうち4.2 3,834個の評価

Bob Howard is a low-level techie working for a super-secret government agency. While his colleagues are out saving the world, Bob's under a desk restoring lost data. None of them receive any thanks for the jobs they do, but at least a techie doesn't risk getting shot or eaten in the line of duty. 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, damsels in distress, ancient 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...

This dark, funny blend of SF and horror reads like James Bond written in the style of H.P. Lovecraft WATERSTONE'S BOOKS QUARTERLY

5つ星のうち5.0 Lovecraft in the computer age

It's so much fun, and truly scary when you think of the implications of what he does with combining fantasy elements and 2003 technology (at one point the characters are trying to avoid any cameras which would be impossible nowadays)

I have wanted to read the Laundry Files for a few years, so I finally decided to go in and pick up this first entry in the series. The premise is that supernatural horror of the mythos as expounded by HP Lovecraft are real. And that secret government ops exist to fight these threats and hush up their existence.

The Laundry is the British version of such a secretive organisation. Bob Howard, who is one of its field agents, must fight through both paperwork and politics if he is to save his country and the world.

The book is a compilation of two stories. Atrocity Archives is the first story, and the first entry in the series. It has a fantastic premise of how the nazis in World War II tried to weaponise the occult and how their successors are still at it in the present. The story as written is a bit hard to follow, given the author's love for computer jargon. It breaks the pacing and forces me to double back and read again to better understand what is going on. The later parts of the story do get unnervingly creepy, but I believe it could have been better still if the flow and tension of the story were improved.

The Concrete Jungle is the second story. It has an apparently less interesting premise than the preceding story and centers on a strange sculpture of concrete cows. But it is written significantly better and is much more of a page turner. I actually enjoyed this story a whole lot more than I did the first.

I say, give this series a try. This first book is not perfect, but you might like it.

I really enjoyed this book for its unique way to portrait magic and occult. It's like the IT Crowd meets Cthulhu

Loved the book, wished the sequals would be similar but sadly each is written in a different style, Read this, forget the rest.

5つ星のうち5.0 Surprising at every turn, clever in lots of ways, original above all

Not everyone is as freaked out as they should be when confronted by the office red tape! But will they learn their lesson because getting the sack is not the worst thing that could happen. Pay attention, or else! It might be called the Civil Service but nothing says it has to be civil... but if you don't think it has an important service to offer, woe is ye.

The tech geek turns: A surprise to some, but understanding stuff can help more than office politics. If you are unsure of that to begin, you'll quickly see the advantage, especially when it's about the cuthulu-esque! And pay grades definately take a back seat to knowing what you're doing when saving the world... though the reports still need to be filed in triplicate, and expense vouchers will be checked.

I was surprised as this writer has a unique style and I notice some other reviewers don't like it. I suppose there's a moment to get adjusted, perhaps also a question of taste, but I thought the writing masterful. This book is nearly as good as his best work 'Accelerando', also a bit techie but that makes it more real and relevant. This is not light weight froth, it feels real and credible. But the story is not a hard serious read - it's as fun and gripping as alot of popular light weight stuff, but you come out richer for the read.

Oh yes, RECOMMENDED
