The Regicide Report

Laundry Files, Book 14

By: Charles Stross

Narrated by: Gideon Emery

An occult assassin, a living god and an elderly queen face off in A Regicide Report, the thrilling conclusion to Charles Stross’ Hugo Award-winning Laundry Files series.

After 60-plus years in power in the UK, Queen Elizabeth II has gathered a surplus of mana from believers spread across the British Commonwealth. That makes her a threat to the Elder God recently installed as Prime Minister—and a target to a shadowy faction within the Laundry looking to depose the Black Pharaoh.

An assassin is dispatched to take out Queen Elizabeth and neutralize the threat of the Black Pharaoh. Bob Howard and Dominique "Mo" O'Brien return for the last time, reluctantly pressed into service protecting the queen.

Plus, Mhari Murphy and her team, many of whom are now infected with vampirism, are back from their mission to Washington, DC, with mixed success.

God save the Queen—someone has to.

another great story of the laundry

imagine James bond is a tech geek and a wizard. and funny. the laundry is a great series, if you've never read one of these books do so asap, you won't regret it. thank you Mr Stross for Bob!!

Back at it again!

I love seeing these middle aged civil servants, that I grew up with, kick ass and take names. More please.

Always a fun read

The narrator, Gideon Emery, makes the story worth twice the price of admission. This telling is Bob-centric and I love his sarcastic and witty takes on the impossible scenario of a dark overlord taking control of the government and the human sycophants that do his bidding. Pretty outrageous. Impossible to imagine. …unless you live in the US.

Enjoyed the story.

I enjoyed the way this story rounded out Bob's career. And remember nothing lasts forever...

an admirable finale

lol if youve gotten this far in the series your going to finish it. FINISH IT!
