On this week's episode, Brad, Eric and Jen talk about the blue guys most beloved by Warhammer 40K players. No, not space marines. The T'au Empire. Why would they do that you ask? This is a patron-decided episode! Our patrons voted for a Book Club about the newest Elemental Council book, by Noah Van Nguyen and they nailed it! The book is very well written and the audiobook very well narrated. Tune in to find out everything we thought about the plot, lore and more! NOTE: NO SPOILERS UNTIL 36 MINUTES OF EPISODE.
