@Cobalt — I've read only Glasshouse thus far, but I have On Her Majesty's Occult Service at home, which is an omnibus of both full-length Laundry novels. I'd have read it by now, but it—like many omnibi—is a wretched hardcover, which requires special preparation (meditation, weight-lifting, that sort of thing) on my part. A conversation with one Samuel J. Wentworth Darlington Chupp III leads me to believe that Stross' Merchant series is also quite good, though the first book is a bit of a challenge.

Saturn’s Child is rather good actually, not just because of the cleavage on the front. I’m a particular fan of Stross, and was very happy to hear reports (in a previous TSL episode) that he’s writing new books in the Laundry series!

Good discussion overall, too.

@Nycteris — Tsk. Not all homunculi are jerks. That's just the sort of generalization and prejudice that will lead to a second Homunculus Uprising, and no one wants that. Yet.

@Kenneth Hite — Thank you! I should mention that Chris and I weren't terribly familiar with Day After Ragnarok until Mr. Newquist submitted his review, but we're in the middle of a Savage Worlds game right now and we both started nodding and grinning as we listened to Ken talk about serpent cults and fantastic tech (talk about "infecting" science fiction with fantasy!). The wheels are turning, and I think it's very likely that a copy of Day After Ragnarok is going to make its way to our gaming table in the near future.

Great podcast, Overlords! And thanks for the great review for Day After Ragnarok!

Actually Skype is better; homonculi are jerks.
