Just realized I haven't been promoting my latest novel enough.

So: why not try A CONVENTIONAL BOY (Charles Stross, Orbit (UK), https://Tor.com (USA))?

Guaranteed to be a Nazi-free read, if you need respite from the real world!

It's a fun one just like the rest. Very nerdy and great.

Tried it.
Liked it.
Read it twice.

Already 3 behind thanks to job/moving stuff. Sigh. Okay, on the grab list for the TBR shelf…😎

Oh, relistening to the Annihilation Score on my commute. Even then you were writing techno-optimism. Your Theresa May stand-in was certainly better than the Real Deal.

I rolled two shiny d20 to save against the pull of this book and STILL failed.
Loved the implications of Derek playing the same adventure several times with different groups!

Would it be a tad Cthulhu-ish or should I not judge a book by its cover?

Call of Cthulu-ish perhaps

Sounds fun. I shall look for it :-)
