Thank you very much to Jeff for commissioning this episode! These chapters we begin a new advanture with Miles, in which he's on a fairly boring and routine visit to Cetaganda for a funeral when he and Ivan are interrupted by a strange man with a stranger object.

Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode! These were some really fun episodes, where I'm trying to figure out what the deal is with Trafalgar Law, Caesar Clown does weird wild stuff as usual, Nami gets kidnapped by a yeti, and Luffy makes a new alliance. I'm having a good time with this arc! Thanks so much to you all for listen…

Thank you very much to Jeff for commissioning this episode! It's time for the final chapter in The Vor Game, and it's got a lot of wrapping up to do so it's a long one. Miles is confronted with some enemies that don't get along with one another too well, and after all is said and done one of them gets away...with honors. Meanwhile, Gregor is assert…

Thank you very much to Dan for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones where our friends go through the weird rain-wall and then come out into gorgeous farmland on the other side.

Thank you very much to Renate for commissioning this episode! This is the one where we find out that the person Kovac is working for is basically a serial killer, but I guess it doesn't matter when none of the women REALLY dies?

Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode!

Trafalgar Law, WAT R U DOIN????Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a n…

Thank you to Sofia for commissioning this episode! I'm enjoying this book so much, but damn it can be really humbling to read something and know that I would NOT have done it that way, and thus I would end up dead.

Join the Di…

Thank you so much to Jeff for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters where Miles completely fails his test of subordination, but in a way that I find ultimately admirable and honorable. I'm shocked that he's already been removed from the base since I really thought there was more to happen there, but I'm always up for a surprise! Thank …

Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode!

These chapters are the ones where Lyria saves a Telemanus from drowning in his space suit, Lysander and Cassius get surrounded after a desperate flight, and Darrow runs off his his Howlers in a really poorly-judged bid to finish the war once and for all. Thanks so much to you all for lis…

Thank you very much to Jen for commissioning this episode! I was so sad when this book was over, y'all. I really was.

Thank you to Florian for commissioning this episode! These are the episodes where our friends finally FINALLY begin to head for the surface, unaware of the fact that there's a bunch of Marines waiting to nail them to the wall.

Thank you very much to Jen for commissioning this episode! These are the chapters immediately after Bothari's murder, and Miles takes it a lot harder than Elena.

Thank you very much to Ashley for commissioning this episode! So we're getting further into the book and I'm getting more and more frustrated with Darrow.

Thank you very much to Ashley for commissioning this episode! So we're jumping ahead a decade in this book, and shit seems to be grimmer than ever.

Thank you very much to Jeff for commissioning this episode!

Miles, as it turns out, does sustain a lot of damage from the soltoxin attack and …

Thank you very much to Michael for commissioning this episode! These are the ones where Hordy takes way too much of that steroid drug and, instead of it killing him like I'd expected, he somehow mutates into a giant albino version of himself.
