The Atrocity Archives
Bob Howard is a computer-hacker who finds out that magic is real and can be controlled through technology. Decent story—good enough to read the next book.
Publisher Description
The first novel in Hugo Award-winning author Charles Stross's witty Laundry Files series 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. His world was dull and safe—but then he went and got Noticed. Now, Bob is up to his neck in spycraft, parallel universes, dimension-hopping terrorists, monstrous elder gods and the end of the world. Only one thing is certain: it will take more than a full system reboot to sort this mess out . . .
