[BOOKS / AUTHORS Weeks - Week 2 sub-episode 5 (Fri. 20251024)]
We sit down with Jeffrey H. Haskell to explore why military sci‑fi still hits hard: ships as characters, faith on the bridge, and the line between honor and horror. From Alaska to a thousand years ahead, we trace how real people behave when the stakes rise.

• Far‑future setting in our galaxy and its politics
• Faith on a warship with diverse beliefs aboard
• Star Trek influences, pain, and identity
• Villains with nuance and historical parallels
• Reading widely to build judgment and resilience
• Classic authors, censorship worries, and morals
• Ships as characters and classical prose choices
