I paused reading @cstross 's Regicide Report (I wonder how many searches for "stross regicide" it takes before Google puts him on a list?) this evening to watch The Abominable Dr Phibes (1971) which I last watched much closer to its release date than to today.

Just finished the final (?) installment of the Laundry Files by @cstross : The Regicide Report. Just a little spoiler...it is very good and everyone should read the whole series. Pax does look a little cross, but that is because it took a couple of tries to get this picture, and I was not properly petting her. #LaundryFiles #Caterday #CatsOfMastodon

That was a good day. Through to Edinburgh to pick up a copy of @cstross latest 'The Regicide Report' from Transreal Fiction, pint in Greyfriars Bobby's Bar (full of tourists, to no-ones surprise) and a tour around the Edinburgh Hacklab.

Now devoured said book. Makes a suitably semi-apocalyptic ending to the Laundry Files. And I need to go and read up on Operation BARMAID, which is a bit of Cold War insanity I hadn't heard of...

@cstross and back to the beginning #charlesstross #bob #laundryfiles

Just finished "The Regicide Report" by @cstross

Blimey. More twists and turns than the original adventure game maze of twisty passages

Bravo, Charlie. What a way to bow out a host of characters. Although, of course, Bob's final words could hold true!

The Weather, the country and well the world is, well look at it. That is it, I am running away to Bob Land for the evening. The Regicide Report by @[email protected] #amreading ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š #LaundryFiles

(Yep, Iโ€™m rereading the #LaundryFiles by @cstross as a refresher for #TheRegicideReport)

I just gulped down #TheRegicideReport in 24 hours! It was very epic and satisfyingly ties a lot of plotlines and characters from the previous #LaundryFiles books together.

However, it has left me a bit melancholy. I guess I was hoping that @cstross would have some fresh ideas on how to definitively deal with monsters who have taken over your government and are indiscriminately killing people to further their own selfish goals. You know, topical advice.
