Episode #122 Interview with John Shirley author of Suborbital7

Episode 122 of Postcards is a special episode featuring the
return of one of my favorite authors. Cyberpunk, Science Fiction,
and horror legend John Shirley is most famous as one of the
screenwriters of The Crow. He is the author of several dozen
novels and multiple award-nominated and acclaimed short story
collections including the award-winning Black Butterflies and the
recently reissued Really, Really, Really, Really Weird Stories.





As a novelist I consider John to have masterpieces in both
Science Fiction (City Come A-Walkin) and Horror (Wetbones). The
last time he came on we talked about his recently released SF
novel Stormland. This time we are talking about his new Science
Fiction action novel Subortibal7. Developed alongside the studio
Alon Entertainment who developed the TV series of The Expanse and
the recent Blade Runner sequel. Suborbital7 will be on my top ten
when the year is over so highly recommended.





In this interview we breakdown this new fresh take on military
science fiction and orbital combat that is ripped from tomorrow’s
headlines. We talk about John's recent projects, the real-life
inspirations for Suborbital7, deep research, and writing
realistic space combat. The first 45 minutes or so is
spoiler-free. Then after a spoiler warning, I make John very
uncomfortable talking about all of the writing process. He is
serious he wants you to read it first.
