Published: Dec. 4, 2022, 8:13 p.m.

Brian Trent, who I originally met almost 10 years ago when he was a Writers of the Future winner, published in volume 29 with his story \u201cWar Hero.\u201d

His work appears in the New York Times bestselling Black Tide Rising series, Weird World War series, Analog Science Fiction, Fact, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, The Year\u2019s Best Military and Adventure SF, Escape Pod, Galaxy\u2019s Edge, and in 2019 he was the winner of Baen Books\u2019 Readers\u2019 Choice Award.

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since we met back in 2013. He just published a fantastic novel that I read in preparation for this podcast, \u201cRed Space Rising.\u201d It was based on his winning Writers of the Future short story, which we discuss.
