After our month off, Agents M and K are back to wrap up Series 9, go through the Dissecting Worlds mailbag and look back on anything else we missed. As we finally leave Espionage out in the cold, we cover:

• Christopher Lee, one of DW’s favorite actors

• Feedback - More Bond, Star Trek: Vanguard, Neal Asher’s Polity and more.

• Good SF Spies vs Bad Fantasy Spies, and the “Turncoat” archetype

• Authors later works do they affect what you think of earlier ones?

• The official unveiling of Series 10, including its broad running order. Recommendations Welcome!

Warning: There is some audio chop on this episode we couldn’t get rid of. We’ve made the decision to leave it in, as there was already some feedback we couldn’t cover and it seemed a shame to drop us talking about your contributions. So apologies, and we hope you understand.
