Summary
Season of Skulls
continues Hugo Award-winning author Charles Stross's
Lovecraftian Laundry Files series.
Welcome to the sunlit uplands of the 21st century!
Britain's avuncular Prime Minister is an ancient eldritch god
of unimaginable power. Crime is plummeting as almost every
offense is punishable by death. And everywhere you look,
there are people with strange powers, some of which they can
control, and some, not so much. Hyperorganized and formidable, Eve Starkey defeated her
boss, the louche magical adept and billionaire Rupert de
Montfort Bigge, in a supernatural duel to the death. At
least, she has reason to hope he's dead. But though she's now
in charge of the Bigge Corporation, she's not free of him
yet. Through the fecklessness of her brother Imp, combined
with the intricate feudal law of a tiny Channel Island, it
would appear that unbeknownst to her, she was married to
Bigge--and that proving his death and releasing herself from
his arcane bindings will take years and cost millions. Then an emissary of the Prime Minister arrives with an
offer that she absolutely can't...well, you know. This is the final novel in the trilogy that began with
Dead Lies Dreaming and continued with
Quantum of Nightmares.
