I haven't obviously read that book. My 5 stars rating is an accident, and I quite can't seem to be able to remove it. I'm sure thought that the book will deserve something close to 5 stars cause Charles Stross has failed to disappoint in the past. I, of course, will be patient and wait the release to say way.
