248 – Scott Carson & The Anticipation of the Bang!!
Manage episode 497241446 series 2977606
After we spent last week in the muck and mire, this episode takes us up where skies are blue.
Just watch for the mushroom clouds.
The guest is Scott Carson, pseudonym of thriller writer, Michael Koryta, and author of The Chill (2020), Where They Wait (2021), and last year’s phenomenal Lost Man’s Lane. His new novel, Departure 37 is something totally different – it has Cold-War conspiracy, AI anxiety, tech-terror and nuclear brinkmanship.
Y’know, it’s like the news … but fun!
Scott and I discuss all of that, as well as the aviation mysteries that fascinate us both, and I give a much-deserved nod to the 90s brilliance of Michael Crichton.
Enjoy!
