For today’s Author’s Shelf episode, Andrew Klavan asked Craig and Kenn to read Doomsday Book, by Connie Willis. The three of them discuss the incredibly well drawn characters, the devastating emotional climax, and the relief of having a time travel story that — wouldn’t you know it — actually works! Our thanks to Andrew Klavan for coming on the show, and we hope you’ll check out his recent book, Another Kingdom.
