In the Acknowledgments of the latest Laundry novel, The Regecide
Report, Stross said the following:
This book marks the end of a twenty-five-year-long project. The Laundry
Files (a name pinned on it by editorial fiat once it passed three
books) was only ever intended to be a single short comedy novel back in
1999.
So it's planned to be over, although, "never say never" as a character
says.
If you were a fan of the series, what drew you to it?
Which books/stories did you like, and which didn't work for you?
Did you like the overall trend of the series?
While I liked the character of Bob Howard, for me the series was less interesting once the "New Management" entered the picture. An except
are the three books that were a side series featuring Eve Starkey and
her brother Imp, and a gang of oddballs. The books seemed a little
less intense and a bit fresh.
