Sword and Laser Podcast 157: Marie Brennan's Fantasy Brings the Science to Fiction

The Sword and Laser (S&L) is a science fiction and fantasy-themed book club podcast hosted by Veronica Belmont and Tom Merritt. The main goal of the club is to build a strong online community of science fiction / fantasy buffs, and to discuss and enjoy books of both genres. Check out previous episodes here. – Mark

In this episode, Veronica and Tom chat with Marie Brennan about her historical fiction, her fictionalized history, and all kinds of matters relating to anthropology, ethnography, archaeology and natural history. And dragons. Plus, get a peek at how much glee she takes in chopping off hands.

Sword and Laser is not just a podcast; we've also been a book club since 2007! Each month we select a science fiction or fantasy book, discuss it during kick-off and wrap-up episodes of the podcast, and continue that discussion with our listeners over on our Goodreads forums. So come read along with us, and even get a chance to ask your questions to the authors themselves!
