DEAD HAND RULE is out today! As an implacable enemy skitters nearer across the stars, Tara Abernathy gathers Gods and Deathless Kings alike to join forces. Of course, there's still a little fine print to be sorted out. But surely they'll be able to come together against the darkness. Any minute now.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

I am watching the new season of Slow Horses (Sept 24) and it features everything you love: Taverner hating having to deal with idiots and malcontents; Claude Claude-ing very hard; the entire team not dealing with any of their PTSD; new guy being weird; farting, obv. I love these dipshits so much.

So this phrase “able-bodied” has clearly been on the most recent list of R talking points. It comes from the first round of English labor laws, which were instituted after the Black Death.
