TalkCast 489 – An Exciting New Universe Begins… Section 4

Richard Paolinelli

Sound confusing? Sure it does! It wouldn’t be Richard Poalinelli if it wasn’t, but god it was great to have him back on the show for appearance number 5 which makes him the newest official member of The Five Timers Club. He brings to us Galen’s Way. A Starquest 4th Age Adventure. First and foremost it must be acknowledged that John C. Wright is the “owner” of the Starquest Universe and has a group of writers working within it to set a consistent universal timeline and history. Richard has begun work in the Fourth Age so you might think one could be confused jumping in but no…this book is Space Opera at its finest. From the first paragraph, the reader is propelled into a wonderful story with characters that fill and grow without misstep and drag you along until you are caught up in intrigue and double cross…and well…it’s just wonderful writing that doesn’t let up up, writing you should come to expect if you have ever read Richard before.

What’s even more fun is the conversation. Enjoy it, because we sure did! That’s what makes him a 5 Timer!
