Welcome back to the Rocket Talk podcast!

Sam Sykes loves what he calls “formative fiction”. Join Justin and Sam as they discuss what formative fiction means to them, and why it played an important role in their reading life. Be warned: Dragonlance, Drizzt, and giggling abound.

Sam Sykes is the author of the Bring Down Heaven series, which began with The City Stained Red and continues in January with The Mortal Tally—both published by Orbit. His previous series, The Aeon Gates Trilogy, is complete. You can find Sam on Twitter, which you should consider both a recommendation and a warning.
