In this first episode of the year we have a special 4 person episode! Cameron is joined by Chris, Barry, and a new guest Erick. Erick is another fraternity brother from college and has been a big fantasy fan since high school when he picked up The Wheel of Time series just as Chris and Cameron did. The 3 of them had many discussions about the books in college, this time there was a lot less alcohol involved than back then as we discussed the book.  There will be some screaming children in the background occasionally since there were miltiple young kids in the house, I hope it's not too disctracting.

I apologize for the length of this episode and it's lack of polish, I have had a very busy week and didn't have the usual time. We were unable to get everyone together at the same time so we have 3 separate short interviews with my buddies who rotate in with me. The bulk of the episode is a fun call Katie and Cam had with Dani and Greg of the podcast, Book Geeks Uncompromised. We talk our favorite books of the year. I hope everyone has a happy holiday season!

Tonight Casey and Cameron discuss Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames. Since there is a little disagreement about this novel Cameron is clearly correct and Casey is clearly wrong since Cameron is the one writing this! KotW is Eames' debut novel and was published this year by Orbit. It clocks in at 502 pages.

On this episode Katie and I take the unusual tactic of insulting quite a few people who left negative reviews on Goodreads... In our defence they clearly didn't bother to read the synopsis so what are ya gonna do? This is the debut novel for Deborah Wolf and the first book in the Dragon's Legacy series, it was published this year and clocks in at 486 hardcover pages long. It is written in the style of an epic fantasy.

In this episode I interview JA Andrews author of A Threat of Shadows, which is a current SPFBO 2017 finalist as well as A Keeper's Tale:The Story of Tomkin and the Dragon. A Keeper's Tale was a finalist for best self published novel for Booknest.eu
