Billy's Books 88: Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss

The Glass Abyss, by Steven Barnes, is the first Star Wars book I know of that features Mace Windu as the main character. It is not a kid's book, in my opinion. The bad guys do some pretty bad murder.

Billys' Books 87: Axiom's End

Axiom's End is the first science fiction novel in a series by Lindsay Ellis. It was recommended to me by Billy Youngblood, who is our guest today. As a bonus, Billy also gives us insight into the new Francis Ford Coppola movie Megalopolis, which we both saw the day before.

Here's a little alien exchange that could come from many books and stories, over generations:
[I require insurance you won't betray me.]
[I require incentive not to betray you.]
