We talk with multiple award winning science fiction writer Allen Steele about how he has taken up the mantle of the pulp hero Captain Future. We discuss Edmond Hamilton, the original author of the Captain Future stories, how Steele has updated the character for a modern audience and where he would like to go with the character. We also talk about Steele's other works, his Coyote novels as well as how the pulps have influenced modern science fiction and fantasy. It's a fascinating and lively discussion.
