An occult assassin, a living god and an elderly queen face off in The Regicide Report, the thrilling conclusion to Charles Stross' Hugo Award winning Laundry Files series.
After 60-plus years in power in the U.K., 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 D.C. with mixed success. God save the Queen--someone has to.Praise for Charlie Stross:
"Smart, literate, funny."--Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians on The Delirium Brief "For all of Stross's genuine ability to spook and dismay, the Laundry Files are some of the most tremendously humane books I've ever read." --Tamsyn Muir on Dead Lies Dreaming "Insane office politics and supernatural mayhem." --San Francisco Chronicle on The Atrocity Archives "One of the most enjoyable novels of the year... Stross steps carefully through all of the archetypes of a classic Bond adventure without ever becoming predictable. The resolution is as perfect as it is unexpected." --Jonathan Strahan on The Jennifer Morgue "Some writers play with archetypes. In The Jennifer Morgue, Charlie Stross makes them sing, dance, and do the dishes for him." --S. M. Stirling, national bestselling author of The Scourge of God on The Jennifer Morgue
