"Mo's latest assignment is to assist the police in containing an unusual outbreak: ordinary citizens suddenly imbued with extraordinary abilities of the superpowered kind. Unfortunately these people prefer playing super-pranks instead of performing super-heroics"--

reviewed The annihilation score by Charles Stross (Laundry files novel -- [6])

nice laundry title in the series

4 stars

(still don't know if i'm going to keep goodreads ratings, but globally “i really liked it”)

impossible to miss the narrator change from Bob to Mo. of course, all the compsci nerdiness is gone. i was not sure i was getting all the nerd jokes anyway

i wasn't completely surprised by the plot resolution but it was nicely brought. anyway i prefer obvious ending well written than some deus-ex-lapina out of a hat to try to woo the reader
