According to official listings, The Furthest Station is Peter Grant #5.7, which if you ask me is an infuriating state of affairs. I love this series so much, mostly because of the people, places, and things in them. And it’s starting to feel like Aaronovitch is only writing tangents these days.

Again, sorry if “mytharc” is a thing non-X-Files fans don’t say. Anyway, because it’s a story that is much more linkable to the overall arc of the series than Body Work was, I much prefer it, if […]
