With this latest installment in the series you don’t see either Bob or Mo. Bob gets namechecked a few times and Alex shudders almost every time he is mentioned. Alex is in Leeds for his first assignment, trying to ditch the sun, his family [Leeds is his hometown] and maybe get up to speed with all the constant training classes.
What Alex doesn’t know is the Oracle dept. has determined that something is going down in Leeds and things go quickly into the grinder as Alex is the point man to stop an invasion. The body counts are getting higher with each book and I think Stross was smart to move the focus of the story off Bob and Mo so they don’t suffer too many power ups before the final book.
I will say the ending had me swiping for another page in my review copy and I really want to see what comes next out of this ending.
