Book Review: CONVERGENCE PROBLEMS by Wole Talabi
“… (E)ven the most widely read out there will find something new here, and something of significance.”
Review: Multiverses: An anthology of alternate realities
I myself have been a fan and enthusiast, one might even say a connoisseur of multiversal fiction, since I got into a car with Prince Corwin and Prince Random and drove from Westchester all the way to Amber.

In this episode, we look at James H. Schmitz’s The Demon Breed. (MGA is the brainchild of Paul Weimer, who, along with Trish, kindly demanded it be turned into a show!) Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the episode!
Mining the Genre Asteroid: Another ambiguous Utopia: Stanislaw Lem’s Return from the Stars
