Description: It's The Office meets James Bond…who's fighting aliens.
In his sequel to the crazed Victoriana of The Somnambulist, Jonathan Barnes brings his invention, satire, and curiosities up-to-date in an addicting—and Lovecraftian—spy thriller.
All is not well in the house of Windsor… More than a century ago, Queen Victoria's Faustian bargain signed London away to a nefarious entity, and now the bill—all the souls of the city—is due.
When young filing clerk and everyman Henry Lamb is pulled into the Directorate's secret war against the House of Windsor, nothing is as it seems. His grandfather was a spy, his office mate has a nefarious agenda, and something evil lurks in the cellar beneath 10 Downing Street: two grown men that dress like schoolboys, and seem oddly familiar…And that's before things get really odd!
