Kristi Charish
In this ‘Cast we welcome back Kristi Charish to talk about her new zombie series which begins with the book, The Voodoo Killings, get an introduction to her latest protagonist Kincade Strange and talk about the setting for this newest book in the “Underground City” of Seattle. This is a wonderful  first novel for a series which gives the reader  a great introduction into Kristi’s take on vampires, ghosts, zombies and all manner of otherworldly things that go bump in the night and wow it is just filled with easter eggs and wonderfully written surprises. We both had a wonderful time reading it and an even more wonderful time talking to Kristi about the how’s and whys of where it came from and where it’s going.
Enjoy The chaos!

We here at Sci Fi Saturday Night love comic books.  We started with superhero stories with their caped protagonists fighting the forces of evil.   Our tastes over time broadened to comics set in fantasy and science fiction.  Follow that up with stories set in more commonplace settings where the greatest struggles are fighting against the forces of making ends meet and finding love.  Now imagine combining stories of superheroes with stories about the struggles of everyday life.
Well tonight’s guest Mike Spring does.  Mike wrote Red White and Broke, a story about a superhero who finds himself unable to earn a living due to his need to save the world.  And his next story, which he is currently being Kickstarted is Uncaped: A Super Hero Rom-Com.  As Mike says, ‘Imagine Wonder Woman falls in love with Jimmy Olsen.’  Check out more of Mike’s creations at Outtatime Comics, and let us know in the comments or on socials which of the 5 covers of Uncaped is your favorite. 
After that we get talking about all the things that Mike does when he isn’t creating new comics.  Voice acting, Audio Books, novels and podcasts.  We range far and wide with what he does but one thing is for certain, MIke’s lack of sleep is our blessing.
Enjoy!

TalkCast 535 – Remembering The Dome

Brad C. Anderson
In this show we get the chance to talk with world builder Brad C. Anderson and how he used the meta-concept of a “generation ship” to help propel a wonderful new novel about lost pasts and new futures, Duatero. We spoke with Brad about the many facets and wonderful gambits he used throughout the book to add context and background to the story as well as propel the narrative using the five main characters; Kredo, Talia, Esperanto, Jak and Mihaelo. Each one is sublimely different and holds up differing cornerstones of this society as the reader navigates through this bafflingly complex yet somehow very close to understandable environment. As a reader, you are sent on and intellectual treasure hunt to find the clues along with the Majestro to unlock the clues behind the mystery of The Great Founder Donna.
Enjoy!

TalkCast 534 – Duatero’s Just Another Word For Nothin’ Left To Lose

Miles Cameron
Of all the things you can say about a book by Miles Cameron, it is NEVER boring and this is no exception. Against All Gods is a magnum opus encompassing continents and characters and events that is breathtaking in scope and you need a scorecard and map to keep track of. That being said, once you are acclimated  to the settings, pace and characters , it is a wild ride into the imaginings of Miles interpretations of the interweaving of Gods and man and it’s never fails to confound and amaze in its tales.What kills me about this book is that as much as at times I want not to like it I really couldn’t  because as confusingly complex, convoluted  and interwoven as it can become,it is character driven, compelling and ultimately quite a beautiful study and kinda the way Miles writes.
Miles is now off to Plataea 2022 where a kid can be an ancient. Follow the links below to join him and he will be back when he returns to talk about it.

TalkCast 533 – The Gods Suck (Or So I Am Told)

In the land of snarky comic science fiction there is a place where you go and someone yells out “NORM!!!!” or perhaps in this case “VANCE!!!”, as in this ‘Cast we are once again joined by C.T. Phipps and his sometimes partner in crime, the enigmatic Michael Suttkus to discuss book two of their space operatic extravaganza Space Academy Rejects. Some questions the reader might have in reading book two of a series, do I have to read the first book to have gainful understanding and enjoyment of this one? No and yes. I hope that clears it up. Secondly, is this book a stand alone? Maybe? Are there going to be more in the series? Why, of course there are! As always , the conversation meanders wherever it wants to and diverges as it should. The book is much like this interview, great fun. We all in Area 51 cannot wait for book three so we might have these gentlemen back to not explain everything yet again (they seem to do that very well) So, say hi to cousin Danny, if you happen to see him.
