The Eight Reindeer of the Apocalypse
by Tom Holt (Orbit, 2023)
A return to form and a return to office-political satire (supernatural law firms buggering everything up in the finely honed pursuit of self-interest). Holt’s prose rollicks along at a line-by-line, page-by-page level, fizzing by even while his characters wade through treacled cynicism.
