Today I learnt about "leveraged buyouts" and I am left wondering how the hell this is even a legal thing.

Ugh, again?

@cstross Picked up Invisible Sun (Tor) and didn't realise it was a series.

Am I correct that the first 6 books are now published as 3 omnibus editions and then the final three are separate books?
