Episode 749: A Kiss for Damocles by J. Kenton Pierce

The Blasters & Blades PodcastIn the near future, data is currency, corporations are kingdoms, and survival is a luxury few can afford. This week, we sit down with author J. Kenton Pierce to discuss his thrilling sci-fi novel, A Kiss for Damocles. We dive deep into the neon-drenched underbelly of his world, exploring the high-stakes chess match of corporate espionage, the psychological toll of cybernetic modification, and what happens when a precision operation spirals into absolute chaos. Pull up a chair and pour a drink, it’s time to step into the shadows. This was a fun interview, so go check it out. Join us for a fun show! We're just a couple of nerdy Army veterans geeking out on things that go "abracadabra," "pew," "zoom," "boop-beep" and rhyme with Science Fiction & Fantasy.
