from Just In Case We Die · host Aaron/Rodney/Rebecca

Send us Fan MailOnce upon a time, Aaron recommended a novel he had recently completed to Rebecca, citing it as his favorite novel of 2021. Already familiar with the work of the author, Rebecca jumped right in, despite Aaron’s misgivings about the science-fiction content of this spectacular book. Rebecca loved Cloud Cuckoo Land so much that she brought it to the table as an entry on her veto list when she joined the cast in 2024. In February of 2026, this novel became up for discussion when a German epic poem (Hyperion by Friedrich Hölderlin, #569 on the original list) got vetoed for being, well, a German epic poem.Here we are . . . April of 2026. Aaron and Rebecca are hungry to know what Rodney thought of one of their favorite novels. There’s no way he can hate this novel, right?
