  One must pay homage. 2:15AM Got up to finish my Brief. Like you said, starts out funny (very) and then turns dark (very). Fabulous....

  Open questions: Wasn't the sleeper supposed to be a servant, not rival, of the black pharoah? Or did it escape it's bonds? Considering the aquatic themes, undead allusion to Jesus, implied deep one cultists, dreams, songs, and especially the sleeping in the pyramid (via colder war), isn't the sleeper Cthulhu? Great old ones like cthulhu are generally portrayed as several orders of magnitude less dangerous than outer Gods like shub niggurath, hastur, and nyarlathotep -- which makes sense if a rebellious Cthulhu is the sleeper, but not if it's the "greater threat" in the US. Is stross redefining the pantheon...

  Final question: how does ymir fit into this? (Or cthonians wargods, come to think of it) If high class entities can eat the information from space time itself, and ymir was (judging by effort put into summoning) lower class than the sleeper, hastur, or black pharoah, how come the home dimensions for those horrors aren't just as shriveled? And that again brings up the deep ones and cthonians -- why would they be letting idiot monkeys go around summoning the end of reality, as with niflheim? What's going on -there- that humans are able to get away with this shit?...

  A lot of theories (debunked) about Bob and Moe's baby being a saviour. Here's my contribution: Their baby will become the Eschaton. He will teleport 90% of the population away, lowering the amount of souls/minds on Earth, without the need for a mass slaughter, thereby ending Case Nightmare Green. This will force you to write another Eschaton book, to my great pleasure. :)...
