041- Part 1- Chateau d'If, by Jack Vance, 1950
Wherein Roland Mario seeks adventure!
Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are in [REDACTED], California, on a mission to destroy The Bezos Robot Army! Oh, and it's also the Season Finale PART ONE, so they're also discussing PART ONE of Jack Vance's 1950 novella, "Chateau d'If".
This one's a lot of fun- a protagonist with the implausible name of Roland Mario lives in a future Earth in a era of plenty, and since there's apparently no adventure left, he's listless and seeking the solution to a mystery! ...A mystery that will basically get resolved at the end of Part 1.
I forgot to have Marguerite describe the cover, whoops. This one's taken from "The Narrow Land", a short story collection very much worth reading. I'll have Marguerite describe this cover for PART TWO.
