Commented on The Laundry Files: an updated chronology
With regard to Angleton and his "gone" status, I am reminded of Arthur Conan Doyle, who was forced to revive Sherlock Holmes. If it could be done without resorting to the "it was all a bad dream" shtick of American...
Commented on STROSS IN COMPUTER-FREE VACATION SHOCKER
Ha! Austin is not in Texas. Austin is on its own planet. Austin is the California of Texas. Austin is (among many other things) the hippie capital of Texas. Austin is the [insert appropriate Scottish locale here] of Texas. (Goths...
Commented on STROSS IN COMPUTER-FREE VACATION SHOCKER
As a native Texan, I can confirm that there are, indeed, Texan Goths. (Except that the Goth thing is dying out, as is the related Emo thing. Now it's just dark hair dye, tattoos, and piercings.) Keep up the good...

US Ace paperback edition: Then it hits me. "What if they weren't injecting something, but "removing samples?" I look at Dr. Wills speculatively. "Are the injection sites consistent with blood donation?" "Well yes, now that you mention it, but why―" "Office cleaners. Blood samples. The two with bite marks ... As hard...

But our T&T have an advantage other investigators don't have - a TARDIS, so they can go back in time to find out what really happened to the disappearing children. That sounds somewhat similar to the premise of Crime Traveller....

John E @ 295: But our T&T have an advantage other investigators don't have - a TARDIS, so they can go back in time to find out what really happened to the disappearing children. That sounds somewhat similar to the premise of Crime Traveller. That it does. Never heard of it, but that's cool. I hadn't given any thought to how our intrepid duo acquired their time machine and the program's writers apparently did....

As hard as I searched, I haven't been able to find prior mention of bite marks? I noticed that, too....
