Head's up to potential readers... I thought this might be another new book in the "Laundry" series (The Atrocity Archives and The Jennifer Morgue). However, after a little digging I found that this is actually a combo of both of those stories with no new material added.
See below what I found from the Wikipedia entry for Charles Stross:
******
Omnibus titles: The Science Fiction Book Club has published omnibus editions that combine two books, without new material.
- On Her Majesty's Occult Service (2007, combines The Atrocity Archives and The Jennifer Morgue)
******
So, this is not new material. BUT, by all means, if you haven't read either of the two included titles yet please order this or order them separately - they're great reads!
