Launch in the Time of Corona - Dan Hanks & Chris Panatier
Welcome back to What the SFF?!, the Angry Robot podcast, as we kick off a new season of brilliantly bookish explorations into all things AR!
This month we were delighted to release CAPTAIN MOXLEY AND THE EMBERS OF THE EMPIRE by Dan Hanks and THE PHLEBOTOMIST by Chris Panatier, two very different but equally fantastic debut novels, and we were lucky enough to be joined by both Dan and Chris for a live-streamed launch event on September 8th.
But if you missed the fun, never fear, because we recorded the whole thing!
Listen in as they chat with Robot Overlord Eleanor Teasdale about challenging colonialism in adventure fiction, how to craft a dystopia while living through one, and learning how to write in a pandemic.
