Listener Review: Justin Lemaster gives us a review of the podiobook of 65 Below by Basil Sands.
Feedback: Tim asks if there are fantasy books out there that contain echoes of the current state of affairs of the world, since he’s seeing that trend in the YA books that Darcy’s reading now; Tim relates Jenny’s impromptu turn as a Second Life tour guide for Third Life Books; Tim also comments on “Burned”, in response to Lorrie’s commentary on it; ADD Todd sends in his commentary on the “Legend of the Seeker” TV series in comparison to the Sword of Truth books.
