Sun, 26 Jun 2022 18:30:00 GMT

It's not unusual for your host to bring on guests he isn't fully cognizant of, though it does help to have something in hand to discuss. This show was in that realm. Jason Starr's new book, THE NEXT TIME I DIE, comes to store shelves June 28th from Hard Case Crime. It's the first under that imprint to have science fiction overtones, breaking into that strange sub-genre. Jason has many crime thriller books to his name, even scoring a few comic book connections in his career that whizzed by the knowledge of Sir Jon. See how that plays out on this episode, discussing books and crime and comics. Enjoy!
