Commented on Happy Halloween!
This timeline is already regrettably familiar with the American ambassador of The Laundry's timeline, under a different role. And then there's the Alfärs' timeline, and the Coldiverse from Book 1, and then you've got the multiple timelines from Merchant Prince:...
Commented on Happy Halloween!
After Jon's audience with the PM was glossed over, I was surprised when no deus burst out of her machina towards the end of the book. But I'm picking up a disturbing pattern in the Mandate's behaviour - first with...
Commented on The Labyrinth Index: sneak preview!
Not sure if this has been asked before, but is The Mandate / Black Pharaoh the same Nyarlathotep that Bob nearly summoned when he first caught the eye of the Laundry? I've kind of retconned it in my head as...

Nojay commented on Happy Halloween!
Since we were going on about the battle of Fallujah, I was actually referring to the DU ammunition for the A-10's GAU-8 30mm gun and the M242 Bushmaster 25mm gun mounted on the USMC's LAV-25 and the US Army's M-2 Bradley.

My copy from the library finally became available. I'm about 1/3 of the way through (Janice just told Derek to get a UBER?), so I'm still avoiding most spoilers. But I am wondering if there's anything to reconcile how Jonquil survived? If memory serves, she was killed by the Spetsnaz near the end of The Fuller Memorandum. Just "YES" or "NO" will suffice for now. I expect to find out for myself in the next couple of days, but that's the one thing nagging me so far in the first third of the book....

I liked the Dungeonmaster. I hope we see more of his backstory, perhaps in shorter works....

Started to read, and that jab about miner apps spamming unholy prayers really caught my attention. Inspired by that, I was chatting with my friend about implications of Russians renaming all their airports simultaneously by suggestion from Orthodox Church, and then we somehow turned to abundance of "battle royal" multiplayer games nowadays, and whether they can count as mass sacrifices or not. I do not hope, that you include any of that into your setting later, and post this simply for lulz, but doesn't it fit?...

Enjoyed it overall, although I'm kind of pissed about Reverend Pete. I think he deserved better....
