Hi, this is David Barcurtley, host of Geeks Guide to the Galaxy.

Just want to make sure everyone knows that my first book, Save Me Please and Other Stories,

is available now on Amazon.com, and that Save Me Please with Please spelled PLZ.

This book collects 20 of my best short stories, along with 13 illustrations and more than

40 pages of authors notes explaining how the stories came to be written and published.

All of these stories previously appeared in some of the top markets for fantasy and science

fiction, including magazines such as Realms of Fantasy and Weird Tales, and books such

as new voices and science fiction and fantasy of the best of the year.

Over 100 people have bought the book already, so huge thanks to everyone who's done that.

I had a really fun conversation about the book with John Joseph Adams, Tom Gurencer,

and Zach Chapman back in episode 500, so definitely check that out if you missed it.

So again, the book is called Save Me Please and Other Stories by David Barcurtley, and

it's available now on Amazon.com.

All right, so now let's get to our show.

Weird.com presents The Geeks Guide to the Galaxy.

And here is your host, David Barcurtley.

Hello, it's welcome to episode 505 of Geeks Guide to the Galaxy.

Today on the show will be discussing Larry Niven's classic 1970 novel Ring World, and

this one includes spoilers for everything in the book, so just be aware of that, and

I'm joined by three guests.

So first up, we've got Rajan Kanna, making his 20th appearance on the show.

He's the author of the post-apocalyptic novels Falling Sky, Rising Tide, and Raining Fire.
