    About this audiobook

    Some agents have all the fun. Others save the world.

    Bob Howard is an IT expert and occasional field agent for The Laundry, the branch of Her Majesty's Secret Service that deals with occult threats.

    Dressed (grudgingly) in a tux and sent to the Caribbean, he must infiltrate a millionaire's yacht in order to prevent him violating a treaty that will start a war with an ancient underwater race. Partnered with a gorgeous American agent who's actually a soul-sucking succubus from another dimension, Bob's mission is to stop the bad guys, avoid getting the girl, and survive—shaken, perhaps, but not stirred.

      I really love the reader of this audiobook. He has the perfect voice for Bob.
    • 4/5
      It's fun and I love the worldbuilding and the meta/postmodern bits but the characters are of the meh and ugh varieties. I don't know why male writers feel the need to write heroes with small d energy but I'm guessing it's the equivalent of the female writer owned Not Like Other Girls TM. This is reason to suspect such authors think these character types are sexy. Well Bob here is not like other girls. He's emotionally constipated, insecure af, and whines at the end that his girlfriend is the hero instead of him. This is definitely intended by the author (possibly for comedy) but the thing is that two extra hot chicks insta fall in love with this clothespin despite him having no personality other than the one described above, and a personal appearance I suspect can be described as acne prone. So I wish the author would err on the side of awesome because it's kinda awkward to follow characters that are gender typed into oblivion. But then the whole Bond geas plot is funny and fun and awesome, so...
