/If you're not too offended but the first few minutes you're going to love this episode. It's not as bad as that sounds, but we both need help choosing words right there at the top. But THEN we get excited about new Scott Lynch, Westeros History, and Benedict Cumberbatch reading Neil Gaiman out loud.

I was wondering if Sword and Laser was ever going to cover Military Science Fiction, like the epic Honor Harrington series by David Weber or The Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell. David Weber has another wonderful series, Safehold. I've read all of the books in the series and would love to see your take on them. Thanks for the wonderful show, Mark
