Episode 582: The Orion's Arm Series by Les Johnson

The Blasters & Blades Podcast

Wow, oh wow, was this a fun chat with author Les Johnson about The Orion’s Arm Series that he co-wrote with Travis Taylor. We spent way too much time getting nerdy about science fiction and the science that it inspired. We talked about the properties of our childhood and what we dig in the modern markets. And we got a tad nerdy about time travel, a not so secret passion of mine. This was a fun interview, so go check it out.

Join us for a fun show! We're just a couple of nerdy Army veterans geeking out on things that go "abracadabra," "pew," "zoom," "boop-beep" and rhyme with Science Fiction & Fantasy.

Co-Hosts:
JR Handley (Author) (Grunt)
Nick Garber (Comic Book Artist) (Super Grunt)
Madam Stabby Stab (Uber Fan) (Horror Nerd)
