Last week, Guest Host Peter Newman's book "The Vagrant" was released on the world and we couldn't be more delighted for him. So delighted in fact, that we asked him to return to lend his unique storytelling mojo to a scifi tale of a young technician thrust into a tangled web of power and corruption on a distant planet.

The story is offered up by Guest Writer Giles Hash and is a YA tale featuring a young woman defining her beliefs in a universe where its hard to tell the villains from the heroes. We're joined by Giles's co-hosts on the Beyond the Trope podcast - Emily Singer and Michelle Graham - and together we delve into the story world, exploring agendas and motivations, subverting stereotypes, and generally brainstorming the heck out this story. In the end, the Literary Gold is abundant, and there's plenty to go around... just click that "PLAY" button!
