After 22 years, Charlie Stross has wound up The Laundry Files series. Over the years, a time or 2 I wondered if it was time for Charlie to hang it up on the series. The prior novel was 1 of those times. So I was a little apprehensive, & actually delayed starting this one.
I should not have worried. I think returning to the original characters, Bob & his wife Mo, was the right thing to do. They are very complicated characters. The plotting is great. I definitely LOLed when the British royal family was described as "the world's most expensive reality TV show" - I think I have made that observation in the past.
So, thanks, Charlie, for finishing the series in such a smashing fashion.
Charlie has some new stuff cooking that I am looking forward to. But he's had health issues, & is reaching the age where he will start becoming bionic. So patience will be the watchword.
