as of 08/23/2011 at 09:08 EST this book is highly entertaining and very smart. I'll do a full review when I'm finished.

09/01/2011 I loved this book! Unlike "Atrocity Archive" which is 2 equal length novellas, "Jennifer Morgue" is pretty much one book with a short story and an interesting essay by the author thrown in. "Jennifer Morgue" puts our hero Bob Howard in to the world of classic British espionage, complete with sunny beaches, dangerously alluring women, and evil occult megalomaniacs. Its a bit lighter at times than the first introduction of Bob Howard was, but twice as much fun in my opinion with just as much cool occult espionage (and more elaboration on the world in that respect not just Great Britain).

The short story "Pimpf" is a fun and short romp inside office politics and the occult dangers of online gaming.

finally the essay at the end of the book "The Golden Age of Spying" is part retrospective of the Bond book/film cultural phenomenon as well as where it all came from; and its part deconstruction of the Bond formula. Particularly as pertains to the "bad guys". Were they really bad guys, or were they victims of overly socialistic governments trying to control resources and industry and spinning the story in there favor after the fact.
