In the title novella, originally serialized in Spectrum SF, sorcerous Nazis summon an ancient Evil into the world in a desperate attempt to escape the approaching Allies, and a few courageous individuals must thwart the terror from beyond the world. Along with "The Concrete Jungle," the tale of a computer hacker's embroilment in a power struggle among spies, and an essay on sf and suspense ("Inside the Fear Factory"), this volume highlights Stross's storytelling expertise and vivid imagination. For large sf collections. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
