Review:
"[A] neat mix of horrific fantasy...with contemporary SF. Add aspects of spy thrillers and Dilbertian office comedy....[S]narky and fun....[A] very breezy, fun, and imaginative novel....[G]reat fun....[D]efinitely to be recommended."
Rich Horton, sfsite.com, mid-June 2004
Review:"With often hilarious results, the author mixes the occult and the mundane, the truly weird and the petty....[W]onderful fun."

"In the title piece, Alan Turing, the father of modern computer science, completes his theorem on 'Phase Conjugate Grammars for Extra-dimensional Summoning'. Turing's work paves the way for esoteric mathematical computations that, when carried out, have side effects that leak through a channel underlying the structure of the Cosmos. Out there in the multiverse are 'listeners' who can sometimes be coerced into opening gates. In 1945, Nazi Germany's Ahnenerbe-SS, in an attempt to escape the Allied onslaught, performs just such a summoning on the souls of more than six million." 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed.
