Actor/Director Kevin Costner has joined forces with writer Jon Baird to collaborate on a new project: writing a book series. Costner and Baird’s book The Explorers Guild: Volume 1�is described as a “splendidly designed, action-packed, globe-trotting tale that combines the bravura storytelling of Kipling with the irresistible style of�The Adventures of Tintin.”

In this episode of Greta Talk, the co-authors sat down with Greta Van Susteren to discuss their writing process, the book’s beautiful illustrations (done by Rick Ross), and even the importance of taking risks.�Costner and the On the Record host also talk about the problems with making movies in Hollywood and the possibility of turning The Explorers Guild into a (15 hour?!) film.
