Episode 10 - Xenos by Dan Abnett (or How does one blend genres?)

In this episode we dive deep into the lore of Warhammer 40K with Xenos by Dan Abnett, the first in the Eisenhorn trilogy from the Black Library. While we had fairly low expectations, this book really captured our attentions and demonstrated masterfully how to blend a variety of genres - in this case Sci fi, Horror and Noire. Nicholas Binge also shares with us how he comes up with names for his characters (trawling the credits of movies), the problem with having a lack of women in a novel, and we expand upon the story of the Lithe Waiter in what will eventually be the greatest novel ever written.
