Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast that is normally about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, but today we are continuing our coverage of the main Expanse narrative with the fifth set of chapters of CALIBAN'S WAR, also by James S.A. Corey. This episode is spoilers for the entire Expansiverse!
In this episode:
- We talk a little TFOB in advance of publication in one (1) month!
- Naomi and Sam Rosenberg become roommates. This is probably not a euphemism?
- Jim Holden makes an interesting career choice, but he survives by Posting Through It.
- Prax sets up an extremely successful gofundme, in some respects at least.
- Bobbie introduces herself to the crew of Jules-Pierre Mao's pleasure yacht.
- Brigid triples down on #timidike ship, and tells the funniest joke in this podcast's history.
- Clint walks back his previous take on this book's pacing and explains the concept of comity.
- Avasarala takes the weight of many worlds on her shoulders, sounds cool while doing it.
Join us next time when we cover the sixth part of CALIBAN'S WAR, where the Roci Crew face down the UN and Martian fleets.
