Rebinging the entirety of @cstross 's Laundry Files, so I can read the final book when it comes out later this month.

Also so I don't have to make the horrid What To Read Next decision for 14 titles. flan_posh

@mwl Just bear in mind that Dead Lies Dreaming/Quantum of Nightmares/Season of Skulls are a separate series that runs from about nine months after the end-point of(forthcoming) The Regicide Report!

And A Conventional Boy fits somewhere after The Apocalypse Codex but before The Nightmare Stacks. (The date is hazy.)

@cstross

thanks, I'll be sure to read in proper order.

(also: what is it with us that makes us write books out of order? No, don't answer that, we both know why.)

@mwl The new management books were meant to kick off a much longer, ongoing next generation series to continue after Laundry 1.0 ended! I wanted it up to speed *before* I killed the cash cow.

@mwl @cstross writing books out of order, do you ever find yourself wishing that you hadn't written something that is chronologically later in the plot, but written first, and it means you can't do what you want to with the plot of what you're currently writing... ? If that makes sense?

@quixoticgeek @cstross

coping with that is part of the gig.

I'm waiting to publish Skybreach until all six books are done, for exactly this reason.
