Charles Stross bibliography

This is bibliography by British hard science fiction and space opera author Charles Stross.

Stross has announced that he is very unlikely to write a third book in this series.

A series of science fiction spy thrillers about Bob Howard (a pseudonym taken for security purposes), a one-time I.T. consultant, now field agent working for British government agency "the Laundry", which deals with occult threats. Influenced by Lovecraft's visions of the future, and set in a world where a computer and the right mathematical equations is just as useful a tool-set for calling up horrors from other dimensions as a spell-book and a pentagram on the floor.

Stross also authorised, but did not author, an official role-playing game, The Laundry (2010, , Gareth Hanrahan, published by Cubicle 7) and a number of supplements based on the "Bob Howard – Laundry" series. The system uses an adaptation of the Call of Cthulhu RPG rules (under licence from Chaosium).

The Merchant Princes is a series in which some humans have an ability to travel between parallel Earths, which have differing levels of technology. This series is science fiction, even though it was originally marketed by the publisher as fantasy. It was originally intended to be a trilogy, but at the end the writing of the first novel, the publisher requested that it be split for shorter length, and this length carried over to the other novels. The first three books were collectively nominated for and won the Sidewise Award for Alternate History in 2007.

The six books were later re-edited back into the originally intended form as three longer novels. The new books were released in the UK beginning in April 2013, and in DRM-free format in the United States in January 2014.

In January 2013 Tor announced a new Merchant Princes trilogy.
The first volume, Empire Games, in this series is expected in the beginning of 2017.
