Join your Two Absolute Bookends in Chapter 17 of The Way The Stars Fall: Rebirth while Jack leads a team of his trading ship’s crack commandos to rescue the inexplicably not dead Tona from the clutches of a very confused Alien Hive Mind. It’s far less exciting than it sounds. Herein we discuss the trendContinue reading "Episode 21 – Mind Smirks"

After a long hiatus in uploads (which is all entirely on Peter for being distracted and an overall lazy shit) we’re back and looking at chapter 16 of The Way The Stars Fall: Rebirth. This is our second attempt at recording this episode, and our frayed nerves do start to show as this fairly uneventfulContinue reading "Episode 20 – Soft Ilmarian Metal Music"

This week you’re two bookends find themselves again on the Vortmund with Tona looking at the alien egg. It hatches, everybody dies and Tona does everything wrong that she possible could. With that in mind, let me leave you with this direct quote from Tona near the close of the chapter: ‘Oh god, I’m dead,Continue reading "Episode 19 – The Amazing ‘Pfts’"

This week we’re reading Chapter 14 of TWTSF:R and we mostly spend it with the now captain (shudder) of the Vortmand, Tona, as she mines, romances and touches dusty alien eggs. Featured this week is lots of complaining about Tona being a captain, the universes weird tech abilities, Jack’s light fitting sabotage and an oldContinue reading "Episode 18 – Romancing the Ton(a)"

This week you’re bookends Join Jack and the tranquillity crew in getting far away from any threat of an interesting plot or action scene around the insurrectionist base, Peter again displays his frayed sanity when he talks about spaceship engines for about a quarter of an hour and Tona become a Captain of her ownContinue reading "Episode 17 – Stop Of His Head"

After last week’s throwback, your bookends are finally talking to you from there here and now as they finally get their teeth back into “The Way The Stars Fall: Rebirth”. It’s good to be back my friends. Prepare yourselves for steamy love pecks, dreams of a Jack-Insurrectionist duumvirate, complete abandonment of any attempts to describeContinue reading "Episode 16 – Girder Based Recruitment"

This week your two bookends read to you from about two months in the past, in the simpler times of early January 2017 before either had read the Eye of Argon. Life seemed so simple then. Apologies on how long it took to get this out, for a myriad of reasons, though admittedly a largeContinue reading "Episode 15 – Fist Shaped Object"

This week Peter and Louis finally finish the Eye of Argon, reading chapter 7, 7.5 and the missing ending. Where epileptics rage, Grignr gets jealous of a corpse, we learn the meaning of life from looking at the mouth eye of a red emerald blob and Grignr either becomes a King or stays a barbarianContinue reading "Episode 14 – Long Leave The King"

This week your two bookends read chapter 5 and 6 of the Eye of Argon by Jim Theis, in what frankly ended up as a far too long episode. The chapter is full of shivs, vomit, testicular punishment, Mrifk and epilepsy, to name but a few of the many ingredients. More than ever, the contentsContinue reading "Episode 13 – Make Like A Wench And Peach And Resign"

This week your two bookends read chapter 3, 3.5 and 4 of the Eye of Argon by Jim Theis, where Grignr sits in the dark, considering how much less he eats when he does nothing, we get a completely unexplained cutaway to some pimpin shamen (sic) hanging about where we get a glimpse of theContinue reading "Episode 12 – Chekhov’s Rat"
