Episode 782: The Guardians of Glory Universe by Jordan Campbell

The Blasters & Blades PodcastPiecing Together a Cosmos: Inside Jordan Campbell’s Guardians of Glory UniverseSometimes, the most vast and captivating speculative fiction universes don’t begin with a thousand-page doorstopper novel… they’re born in the compact, high-stakes arena of short fiction. In this episode, we sit down with author Jordan Campbell to explore his expanding Guardians of Glory universe. Scattered across a series of gripping short stories, this intricate world blends rich lore, high-stakes conflict, and deep character development. We're diving into Jordan’s unique approach to mosaic worldbuilding, how he drops readers headfirst into an established mythos without overwhelming them, and whether these short stories are laying the groundwork for a massive, full-length epic. This was a fun interview, so go check out this episode. 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.
