Wired.com presents the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy. And here is your host, David Barr-Kirtley.

Hello and welcome to episode 268 of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

Today on the show we'll be discussing the new movie The Dark Tower based on the series of novels by Stephen King.

And this will involve spoilers for the Dark Tower movie, and may also include spoilers for the books as well, so just be aware of that.

And I'm joined by three guests.

So first up, we've got our producer John Joseph Adams.

He's the editor of Light Speed and Nightmare

magazines and he also oversees John Joseph Adams books, an imprints of

Houghton Harcourt. He's the series editor of The Best American Science Fiction

and Fantasy, and he's also edited many other anthologies,

including the recent books Cosmic Powers, Dead Man's Hands, and other worlds than these.

So John, welcome back.

Good to be here. I'm looking forward to this

plaver.

The next up we've got Rajan Kana making his eighth appearance on the show.

He's the author of the post-apocalyptic novels

falling sky and rising tide and his articles have appeared

on tour.com and Littreactor.com. His Weird West stories Card Sharp and Second Hand appear in

John's anthology's The Way of The Wizard and Dead Men's Hand, and his latest novel,

Reining Fire, is out now.

So Raj, welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me back.
