This month on Swords and Space, Nicholas and Richard engage in a no-holds-barred debate of the Wachowski brothers’ V for Vendetta, with Stephen Heiner of the Culture of Comics refereeing. Both have strong feelings about the film, with Nicholas ranking it in his “bottom 10” and Richard ranking it in his top 10. Tune in for a spirited discussion

We also talk about the 1987 novel The Legacy of Heorot by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Steve Barnes. A classic of science fiction, if you’ve not read it before this discussion should inspire you to pick it up.
