Ciao

ne stavamo parlando a cena stasera: the Laundry Files di Charles Stross

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laundry_files#The_Laundry_Files

di cui il primo libro è "The Atrocity Archives": sconsiglio però di
leggere la pagina di wikipedia oltre il paragafo introduttivo perché
spoilera

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atrocity_Archives

l'introduzione è:

The stories are Lovecraftian spy thrillers involving a secret history of
the 20th century, although they are not set in Lovecraft's universe.[1]
Horror elements such as the Nazis using higher mathematics to open
"gates" to other dimensions are combined with humorous elements
satirising bureaucracy. The protagonist of both stories is a computer
expert calling himself "Bob Oliver Francis Howard"[2] (a pseudonym, or
"craft name", as a person's real name can be used against him—a common
feature of systems of magic, or, alternately, a "work name" as used by
covert espionage agents) who has been conscripted into a secret British
occult intelligence organisation, "The Laundry".
