Wired.com presents the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy, and here is your host, David Barr.
Curtly.
Hello, and welcome to episode 550 of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.
I'm David Barr Kirtley, author of the book Save me, Please and other stories.
Publishers Weekly visceral settings and robust characters will have readers marveling at how much Kirtley is able to fit into a limited page count for SFF fans.
With no time to sink into a doorstopper, these concentrated doses of genre goodness will hit the spot.
And Kirkus Reviews writes Kirtley employs sharp, concise prose that complements his puckish sense of humor.
The author's passionate voice breathes life into this wonderful array of tales.
So again, the book is called save me, please and other stories, and it's available now on Amazon.com.
and our guest today is Abby Goldsmith, who you may remember from our panels on the books of Fire upon the Deep and Ring World and the tv show's the wheel of time and foundation.
She's a co host of the stories for nerds podcast, and her short fiction appears in magazines such as fantastic stories of the Imagination, Ant Escape pod, and in books such as Futuristica Volume two, and soon, four chilling tales.
And in this interview, we'll be discussing her space opera novel majority, the first book in her six volume torth series.
And now here's her interview with Abby Goldsmith.
All right, so we're here with Abby Goldsmith.
Welcome to the show.
Thanks for having me on.
Okay, so tell us about the Torth series.
What's it about?
So there's a galactic empire, and these people are all kind of neurally superluminally connected.
They can communicate instantaneously, and they vote on everything.
