What this episode covers
Brandon, Dan, and Mary interview Howard about how he assembled "Deus ex Nauseum," the bonus story that appears at the end of Schlock Mercenary: Emperor Pius Dei . Howard begins with the story's genesis, which was sort of a science-fiction Sherlock Holmes story, but which wasn't working very well. He explains why it wasn't working well, and the point at which he decided to change it completely. Then the questions begin. We have a fascinating discussion about deus ex machina as a literary device, and how this story plays to that type, and plays against that type.
