Episode 764: Shadow Mode by Kevin Steverson & Craig Bell

The Blasters & Blades PodcastWhat happens when a wounded warrior is paired with a highly classified, intelligent mech that holds the echoes of his own dead brother? This week, we are sitting down with sci-fi powerhouses Kevin Steverson and Craig Bell to discuss their explosive new military science fiction novel, Shadow Mode. We follow the journey of Gunnery Sergeant John D. Ryerson and his mech partner, MIMIC-01 ("Mike"), onto the live-fire front lines of the Tau Ceti front. But when they uncover a massive conspiracy linking alien insurgents to Earth's own defense contractors, Ryerson faces a terrifying choice: follow orders, or expose a betrayal that could cost him everything. Tune in as Kevin and Craig break down the worldbuilding, the tech, and the intense themes behind this must-read new series! This was a fun interview, so go check it out. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won’t be sorry!! 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.
