On Her Majesties Occult Service

Charles Stross's excellent spy/horror thriller. Just think what James Bond would do if he had to face an evil mastermind who summons demons from the nether world. Well and James is a computer tech... with a palm pilot and no Walther PPK. But he does get the bond girl... err... umm... physics professor. As a scifi author Stross turns a good sentence and injects a bit of reality into spy work... with some unknown horrors and magic.

sounds like a fun read!! Did James Bond really use a Walther PPK? Creepy....

Richard said...

Yes, and a P99 in the newer movies.

Richard, I enjoyed reading something about what you are doing! Polymer science is still a mystery to me.
