If you ’ve been hoping Charles Stross would return to the various territories of his Laundry serial , Saturn ’s Children or Halting State , then you ’ll be excited by his next few novels .
I could n’t be more delighted by this acquisition . I ’ve been a buff of Charles Stross ’ work for yr . I jazz his wit and his playful familiarity with an almost - tangible future and it ’s hugely exciting to make love that we can expect forward to publishing three fresh books .
So what are these Holy Scripture , and what are they about?Stross explained a while back on his blog :
The Apocalypse Codex is the fourth Good Book in his Laundry Files series , and here ’s what it ’s about :
Bob has been promoted to third-year management and sent to ride herd on a couple of contractor . “ I feel like an eight class old who ’s been pass a laser pointer and a jolt of catnip and tell apart to amuse the kitties in the Siberian Tiger enclosure at the zoological garden , ” he complains . But then he discovers a big game Orion is stalk his pussycat …
As for the other two :
“ Neptune ’s Brood ” is set in the population of “ Saturn ’s Children ” , about 5000 year after on . It ’s going to be a – I make no apology – mundane SF space opera . And Freya does not come out in it . I have n’t perpetrated space opera in something close to five years ; this is my alibi to scratch the urge and cocker in a guilty pleasure again . As we seem to be go through the golden years of exoplanetography , I bear any elaborate plans I draw up between now and 2012 to change before I start write …
“ The Lambda Functionary ” is the third Holy Scripture in the thematic trilogy of near - hereafter novels that start with “ Halting State ” and “ Rule 34 ” . And that ’s all I ’m going to tell you about it just now , in case something makes it obsolete before I start writing ( as transpire with “ Rule 34 ” – Bernie Madoff stole my original prank game ) . N.B. : “ Halting State ” examine game , realness , and augmented reality . “ Rule 34 ” is about crime and business models . The architectural plan for “ The Lambda Functionary ” is to take a feel at the future of government and diplomacy . And if you wonder why I ’ve been think about utopias recently , this is the answer .
