Coming to you "live" from CONduit, Writing Excuses is pleased to welcome fantasy superstar L.E. Modesitt (plus a slightly different Howard, by which we mean that Howard was out of town and replaced by Dan's brother Rob).
\n
\nOur topic for this episode is "practicality," which is another way of saying "fantasy and science fiction may be unrealistic, but they should still be plausible within your definition of reality." In other words, if you have an army of 1000 armored knights, you'd better have an economy and political system capable of producing and supporting them.
\n
\nAudiobook Pick-of-the-Week: Imager by L.E. Modesitt, Jr., about a mage so powerful anything he thinks can become reality.
