Well, this \u2018Casts guest, Matthew Hughes most certainly is. So, what does it mean, what do they do? We talk with Matthew about this and his amazing book Barbarians of The Beyond. It turns out that Matthew has an affinity with the work of the late Mr. Vance (as it seems most writers can source their literary lineage back to the influences of how a writer affected them) and he talked with us about his wonderful relationship with him over the years and how the \u201cPaladins Of Vance\u201d came to be and why it was so important for him to work within this universe. Hughes\u2019 book is an amazing work of \u201cVanc-ian\u201d space opera, in a style not much seen any more. As we talked about why Vance and space opera isnt \u201cthe thing\u201d these days Hughes also mentioned authors the world might take time to revisit:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jackvance.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jack Vance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (obviously)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyril_M._Kornbluth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C.M.
