Ep 15: Alphabet Squadron: Baby Got Björk

It’s “Top Gun” in Space! There’s even a thirsty beach volleyball scene for all of you Tom Cruise stans.

Not really. Tom Cruise isn’t in this book.

But you know what? That shouldn’t stop you from removing your shirt and reenacting the “Top Gun” volleyball scene anytime you want. It’s summer. You do you.

In Episode 15, which was recorded on June 22, hosts Alyce and Laura are talking* all things Alphabet Squadron. You all have done your assigned reading, right? Because this episode is nothing but spoilers for the novel. Seriously, there’s no time stamp this time - the whole episode is one big spoiler for Alphabet Squadron. So now onto the important questions:

On a scale from 1 to 10, how badly do you want to get Hera-shamed?

Is Kairos a Tusken Raider?

If Wyl Lark was a character in The Hunger Games, who would he be and why is the only acceptable answer Peeta Mellark?

Oh yes, friends. It’s also The Hunger Games in Space. And this is the Capitol. Let’s get weird.

One last thing: if you’re here to get a really thorough, well-thought-out recap and analysis of Book 1 of Alphabet Squadron, this must be your first time listening to Force Toast (welcome to the party!). We mostly do a decent job of that until we get to the end of the book, which neither of us fully understood.
