    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.
