How much you wanna bet they got the name of this episode from Icy Hot? If that's true, does that mean we're about get a pain reliever? Is this going to provide us much needed alleviation from the excruciating mediocrity of this series? Probably not. Knowing this show, cold fire probably just means neutral... how exciting. Who knows, maybe our cold hearts will be thawed by this face melting episode of Star Trek: Voyager. Episode discussion starts at 18:23. This is episode 9/17 in our look at Voyager.

Lately, it feels as though a lot of fantasy books come in two kinds: cozy, or extremely dark. During a scary time in the world, we seek either comforting sweetness, or violent catharsis. To find out more, we talked to Nghi Vo, whose recent books include The City in Glass and The Brides of High Hill. Plus we talk about how to include white characters in a story without centering whiteness.

Feast on fish and chips with Paul Cornell as we discuss where he stands on the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby debate, how his UK mind was blown the first time he saw a U.S. issue of The Avengers, why fannish history fascinates him, the reason he went the self-funding route for Who Killed Nessie (and what that did to his blood pressure), how some of his Doctor Who fan fiction eventually became canon, the reason he's suspicious of nostalgia, how he knows when ideas pop into his head which of his many projects they're right for, the legacy comics characters he'd love to write more of, what he learned from the great Terrance Dicks, how he manages to collaborate while remaining friends with his co-creators, his fascination with Charles Fort, why he announced there'd be no more Doctor Who in his future, and much more.

Beginnings is the sixth (and second to last) book in the Worlds of Honor anthology set.  It contains five short stories, penned by four talented authors:  David Weber, Charles E. Gannon, Timothy Zahn, and Joelle Presby.  Each of these stories brings us to interesting and important beginnings for many events that we’ve become familiar with in the Honorverse but have often gone with little or no explanation.This collection of writings comes in at 377 pages and was first published by Baen in June 2013.Charles E. Gannon brings the first story to us:  By the Book.In this story we join the crew of Earth Union Customs Patrol ship Venerated Gaia commanded by Lieutenant Lee Strong in 250 PD.  Their mission:  board and recover a hijacked ship named Fragrant Blossom, a ship they’ve located and seized near the Sol System asteroid belt.  Once the ship is captured and under their control, a series of non-standard events results in Lieutenant Strong coming into contact with an administrator working for the Outbound Operations Administration, a somewhat quiet and shadowy man named Perlenmann.  Mr. Perlenmann seems to have been effectively benched professionally and is sent to his current post on Jupiter’s moon Callisto, primarily due to what those holding (somewhat authoritarian) political power deemed to be his radical views.  It’s from this position of relative obscurity we learn that Mr. Perlenmann is an influential member of an organization plotting to bring the current political elite and their parties to their knees by causing an economic collapse across the Earth Union and Sol system.  He recruits Lieutenant Strong to deliver the necessary computer program, causing a catastrophic collapse, which results in the related loss of power of the controlling political parties and the disintegration of the Earth Union.  With the passage of time, the collapse is eventually referred to as the Economic Winter of 252 PD.  When the economy recovered as a much freer and open economic system, it spawned powerful growth that enabled the remarkable beginning of the movement of humanity out of the Sol system and into the stars.Your hosts gave this story two ‘thumbs-up” and one “neutral” vote.Next we discussed Timothy Zahn’s short story A Call to Arms.  We move forward in time now, over a thousand years, to 1543 PD.  Following the recovery from the Economic Winter of 252 and the subsequent expansion, we see a Solarian Axelrod Corporation plan unfolding to attack the Manticore System through the use of mercenaries.  At the same time, we join a young Lieutenant Travis Long onboard the HMS Phoenix.  When he writes up a subordinate for substandard performance, he finds himself the one who’s in trouble and he’s transferred to a different ship, the HMS Casey.  It turns out the poor performer is from a politically and militarily powerful family.  What appears to be bad news for Lieutenant Long turns into a blessing as the mercenaries arrive in the Manticoran system.  Now confronting the enemy, his strength as a tactician shines as he’s key in defeating the threat.  The “misstep” while onboard the Phoenix quickly and quietly moves to the background as his new captain nominates him for the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal.  He also learns a powerful lesson from Captain Heissman about being aware of and getting used to the existence of internal politics within the RMN.Of note, this story is the beginning of more time we’ll spend with Lieutenant Travis Long.  Our introduction to him here sets up seeing a lot more of him in the “Manticore Ascendant” series of novels, by the dynamic writing duo of David Weber and Timothy Zahn.This one received “thumbs-ups” from each of your hosts, with a bonus “two thumbs up” from Raul.Beauty and the Beast is the third...
