PodCastle Spotlight: FLEX

Anna and Dave squeeze in one last PodCastle Spotlight, because dammit, Flex, by Ferrett Steinmetz is worth it! Also: There’s a free eBook giveaway, and Dave reads an excerpt!

Listen to this week’s PodCastle!

WOOHOO.

Really enjoyed Mr. Steinmetz' short fiction on the EA 'casts over the years, so I am personally really looking forward to this one.

Sounds like a great idea for a book! I love the idea of the bureaucrat-hero, using his paperwork powers for good -- and then things get really interesting!  And if the rest of it is like the excerpt here, it will be a pretty intense thriller!

Great spotlight! I've really loved all of Ferrett Steinmetz's stories on the pods so I'm sure this will be great!

Woot for FLEX and for Ferrett!

Ferrett is my favorite short story author (I did a top 50 of all time podcast short fiction list last year and Ferrett had SIX entries on the list), so I am well pleased to see him publishing novels now. 

I reviewed it for SF Signal here:
