[NB As long as the events in his "Laundry" series don't start happening then we're probably fine]

The real world keeps derailing his Laundry universe. The next book, due out in July, was delayed because he had to rework it to accommodate Brexit.

Oh wow how cool!! Should've known. I have been Jonesing for his next Halting State novel for some time. It's such an amazing literary adventure, in second person no less, I really hope he reconsideres.
