This week's episode features Cameron and guest host Chris. They discuss the Black Company by Glenn Cook. This book is a classic of the grim, realistic, morally ambiguous fantasy novels that are so popular today, think of it as the grandaddy to Game of Thrones! The Black Company was published in 1984 and is 319 pages long and is the first of 10 books in the series. The last book in the series was published in 2000 so you can read knowing when you hit the last book its done!

This episode is my first author interview. Matt and I talked about his experience as a screenwriter and now as an author. His first novel is The Woven Ring which is the first book in the Sol's Harvest series. After the interview there is a 10 minute review of the novel with Cameron. I hope you enjoy what should be the first of many author interviews.

In today's episode Casey brings his witty banter, or something like that anyway, back to the podcast while Cameron doesn't even remember to mention the name of the podcast until several minutes in... They review The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. It is the first book in the Gentleman Bastard Series and clocks in at 499 hardcover pages long and was published in 2006.

In this quick episode Cameron restrains his urge to bloviate and Katie listened to her first ever audio book! Steelheart by Branden Sanderson runs 386 pages long and is the first book in the Reckoners series, which is completed.

Katie tells Cam he is thinking way too much about breasts in their review of The Black Prism by Brent Weeks. This book published in 2010 is the first book in the Lightbringer series and clocks in at 629 hardcover pages long.

Guest host Casey claims he's an expert on one thing or the other based on interwebs research and Cameron felt lost in time while reviewing The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. The book was published in 1974 and won every major award related to science fiction.

We made it to ten episodes! Katie and Cameron discuss girl power in the second book we have reviewed by Mark Lawrence. Red Sister is 469 pages long and is the first book in a planned trilogy.

Barry and Cam play good cop, bad cop while reviewing this book by Jade Jesser. Sorry for the long delay between the last two episodes but we should be back on schedule for the next little bit! I didn't record an outro so if you care about it, our next book is Red Sister by the firs author we reviewed, Mark Lawrence. If you enjoy our podcast please rate and review it! Thanks

Cameron proves he has no attention to detail and Katie proves she is by far the more clever of the pair. The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams was first published in 1988 and is considered a classic of the fantasy genre. It clocks in at 672 pages long in paperback and is the first book in a four book "trilogy".
