To close out this offseason, as always, we conned Steven Erikson to talk to us for a sixth time; this time we talk about The Bonehunters, spiders, vaccines, the climate disaster, cycles of humanity, and the exhaustion of humanity. Light stuff! All in all it's a very good convo. Thanks for coming on Steve!

AJ, Pete, and Nathan sit down once again to talk about the final installment of Steven Erikson's Star Trek spoof series "Willful Child"! AJ divulges a secret and a hot take, Nate explains some *very* specific references, and Pete wonders if the books are "juvenile". ---  Back the show on Patreon - https://patreon.com/tenverybigbooks Follow the show on Twitter - https://twitter.com/tenverybigbooks Thoughts about the show?
