Greg and Mike met up with author David Mack at Farpoint in Baltimore, MD. David is the New York Times bestselling author of more than thirty novels of science fiction, fantasy, and adventure, including the Star Trek Destiny and Cold Equations trilogies. We talked with him about his new Dark Arts series of Alt-History Fantasy, starting with The Midnight Front.

We asked David about writing historical divergences in Alternate History, tackling the weight of history in writing about WWII and the Holocaust, and more.

Note: since this is a live interview at a convention, the audio may have a bit of random background noise.

Trigger Warning: This interview involves some frank and graphic discussion about the horrific results of the Holocaust, given the nature of the book’s setting and themes. David believes (and we agree) that representation of the reality of what happened is important, but we nonetheless wanted to make sure people knew such topics are present in this discussion.
