Welcome to CBO: After Dark where Steve and Scott relax and discuss the latest media they've been enjoying. In the episode we have news on some of our own projects, we've seen Star Trek: Into Darkness and it's GOOD, we were sad to hear that Iain M. Banks is no longer with us, everyone has been spoiling Game of Thrones (except us) and the audio quality goes totally up the spout in the last few minutes. |

Welcome to the latest episode of The Book Club. This episode we're discussing Retribution Falls by Chris Wooding. Retribution Falls is a steampunky, sci-fi action romp with space pirates, dog fights, double crossing no good thieves, and lots of gunfights and even sword play. It's a face paced story and in this episode we discuss the characters, the plot, the influences and its similarities to other touchstones in popular culture. You can send in general feedback on the book and questions via Twitter or the Good Reads forum. |

This is the first in a new semi-regular series of CBO episodes with a slightly more laid-back feel. Enjoy! |

Welcome to the first book club of 2013! Our next selection is 'The Time Machine' by H. G. Wells. The book is out of copyright so it should be very cheap to buy, or free if you've gone digital.
