"I'm a big fan of the Laundry series and I had also read Saturn's Children which I enjoyed. But I think Neptune's Brood is now my favorite Charles Stross book. I only wish it would have had one more chapter, to tie up some of the loose ends."

Quotes

“Enthralling.”
— Booklist -
“The enjoyment one gets from a Stross novel doesn’t just come from his fascinating characters and plot; it can also be found in his elaborate explanations of the elements that make up his universe. Stross’ second Freyaverse novel is easy to get lost in, with detailed depictions of everything from complex monetary systems to the structure of life on planets made mostly of gas. His world is not only absorbing, but also feels like a hauntingly realistic possibility for the future.”

Charles Stross is the author of the bestselling Merchant Princes series, the Laundry series, and several stand-alone novels, including Glasshouse, Accelerando, and Saturn’s Children.

Over the next decade and a half he worked as a pharmacist, a technical writer, a software engineer, and eventually as a prolific journalist covering the IT industry. His short fiction began attracting wide attention in the late 1990s; his first novel, Singularity Sky, appeared in 2003. He has subsequently won the Hugo Award twice.
