Story
Mo's latest assignment is assisting the police in containing an unusual outbreak: ordinary citizens suddenly imbued with extraordinary abilities of the superpowered kind. Unfortunately these people prefer playing superpranks instead of superheroics. The mayor of London being levitated by a dumpy man in Trafalgar Square would normally be a source of shared amusement for Mo and Bob, but they're currently separated because something's come between them - something evil.

Good narrator to capture Dominique

This is not a Bob Howard story. This is a Mo story.
The character perspective and voice are very different from the rest of the series (which is probably also why Gideon Emory is not narrating) so if you are a Bob fan rather than a Laundry fan or a Stross fan you may need to manage your expectations.
That said, it is still a good listen. And I think the change of perspective was needed after the events concluding The Rhesus Chart.

Story
In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.
