![]() He doesn’t want much from you, yet, but if you’d only listen to his voice …. Mo calls her violin Lecter, and if you listen very closely, you can hear his whisper. Remember Elric’s Arioch? You’re on the right track, just crank the demon eating darkness up to eleven. ![]() can’t forget that.įor those of you just joining us, Mo’s instrument is made of human bone, her fingers bleed when she plays it, and she can’t let it out of her sight because it gets very lonely, and very, very hungry. ![]() Oh, and let’s not forget the semi-sentient violin that creeps into her dreams and wants to kill her husband. Barely any Bob in this baby, this novel is all Mo, all the time. I really, really wanted to get to The Annihilation Score, because this book is told from Mo’s point of view. I rushed through The Rhesus Chart, the Laundry novel that comes right before this one. the “This violin kills demons” sticker on the violin case is no joke. You see, she is the handler for what is known as the Pale Violin. Bob might be an apprentice (and possibly heir) to The Eater of Souls, but Mo has him beat. She works for the Laundry too, and sometimes it’s her coming home from a crappy trip to be soothed by her well meaning husband. No matter how shitty his day is at work, he can usually come home to his wife Mo. ![]() Laundry novels have always starred Bob Howard, IT programmer turned computational demonologist. This is the sixth Laundry novel, but in a way, it’s the first of its kind (By the way, Start Here). The Annihilation Score, by Charles Stross (A Laundry Novel) ![]()
