I'm going to keep this short and spoiler free. The final main line Laundry Files novel has been out a few days now. There may be more New Management books (he mentioned an Imp book a while back) but he's got a space opera up next.

I finished the new one and enjoyed it. Loved the reference to a couple of terrible 70s flicks. It's a pretty good wrap up to the series.

It is back to Bob as the main character. Plenty of Mo. If you read the New Management books you'll likely recognize a minor character from there. Johnny MacTavish's family comes into play. A couple of the guns were left on the mantle but the big stuff is wrapped and we're not left wondering about the fate of anyone important.

I’m glad. I was worried how depressing it was going to be given that this is The End for Bob and Mo & co.
