The delirium brief - Charles Stross

SHORTLISTED FOR THE LOCUS AWARD 2018

Bob Howard's career in the Laundry, the secret British government
agency dedicated to protecting the world from the supernatural, has
involved brilliant hacking, ancient magic and combat with creatures of
pure evil.

Now the Laundry's existence has become public, and
Bob is being trotted out on TV to answer pointed questions about elven
asylum seekers. What neither Bob nor his managers have foreseen is that
their organisation has earned the attention of a horror far more
terrifying than any demon: a government looking for public services to
privatise. There are things in the Laundry's assets that big business
would simply love to get its hands on . . .

Inch by inch, Bob Howard
and his managers are forced to consider the truly unthinkable: a coup
against the British government itself.

'Brilliantly disturbing and funny at the same time' Ben Aaronovitch
