Ben and Nate discuss Vector Prime by R.A. Salvatore. It's the Star Wars book that kicked off The New Jedi Order, a 19-book long Star Wars Legends series that features some of the greatest moments, but also some of the most boring moments in all of Legends. Which will this book be, and why was Nate's audiobook only 3 hours long?

We discuss Paul Tremblay's novel turned M. Night Shyamalan film, The Cabin at the End of the World. Will this live up to the high standard set by Head Full of Ghosts, or is Shyamalan's interest in this story foreshadowing for disappointment to come?

Ben and Nate decide to take a look at a book they read 15 years ago to see if it still holds up. That was a mistake. In Part 1 of our two part discussion of A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore we examine the characters and tone of the book and ask ourselves an important question: Have we grown up?

Ben and Nate continue their discussion of Star Wars: Thrawn by Timothy Zahn (Thrawn #1). In this episode Thrawn has a romantic encounter with a certain fowl of the evening and Arihnda Pryce goes absolutely insane.

Ben and Nate discuss Thrawn by Timothy Zahn (Thrawn #1). It's been far too long since Ben and Nate checked in on their favorite Chiss Grand Admiral.

Will he be able to discover the true nature of The Emperor's secret project? (It's the Death Star. It's always The Death Star.)

You deserve to be commended. You are the real heroes.

This episode contains explicit material. Servants of Fate is an Erotic Urban Fantasy set in a Dystopian Environmental Collapse Future with a magic system inspired loosely by Greek Mythology. If that sounds like a lot, it's because it is.

Ben puts off medical treatment to make sure he's available for Words About Books' first ever author interview.  He should have known better. Join Ben as he has a life changing discussion with amateur Erotica author, Chad Dingleton, who is almost certainly not just Nathaniel Creed in sunglasses and a backwards baseball cap.
