Quantum of Nightmares

In "Quantum of Nightmares," the latest installment of Charles Stross’s Laundry Files series, a reimagined Britain is governed by an ancient eldritch god posing as Prime Minister, with crime rates plummeting under draconian laws. The narrative intertwines the fates of several characters: Eve Starkey steps into her new role at the Bigge Corporation, Wendy Deere navigates her transhuman abilities while entangled with Eve's eccentric brother, Mary Macandless undertakes a risky mission to capture superpowered children, and Amanda Sullivan confronts her malevolent boss in a grocery chain. As their paths converge, the outcome promises to reshape their world in unexpected ways.
