This time we hit Robert Mason’s 1989 military/AI novel Weapon, adapted to a pretty terrible 1996 movie named after the main character, Solo.
Colin reached out to the author and got him to do some Q&A, which we sprinkle in through this episode.
It’s a tricky eBook to find. I guess I found it from Barnes & Noble a while back, but right now I don’t see it in the store. The book is excellent and worth tracking down.
Colin references the afterword from the book that’s available on the author’s page:
This time the guys discuss Tom Godwin’s 1954 classic short story “The Cold Equations” and tackle three of its adaptations: the 1980s Twilight Zone episode, the 1996 Sci-Fi Channel movie, both sharing the story’s title, and the 2014 short film titled The Stowaway.
