About the Book

In the latest Silent Hill film, based on the classic psychological horror video game Silent Hill 2, James must return to Silent Hill to rescue his soulmate. The town has been changed by an unknown malevolent force that makes James doubt his ability to survive. In my restless dreams, I see that town. SILENT HILL. RETURN TO SILENT HILL brings the iconic psychological horror franchise back to the big screen. When James receives a mysterious letter from his lost love Mary, he is drawn to Silent Hill—a once-familiar town now consumed by darkness. As he searches for her, James faces monstrous creatures and unravels a terrifying truth that will push him to the brink of survival.

Synopsis

Welcome to the world of Crimson Skies. The United States is a land torn apart by epidemic and war. With chaos on the ground, America’s highways have been forced into the skies, a lawless new frontier where the flying ace—hero, pirate, villain—is king. Here are the exciting, danger-packed adventures of three such daredevils.

The Case of the Phantom Prototype . A hefty payday convinced dogfight genius Paladin Blake to fly a top-secret aircraft into the Mojave Desert. But on this job, Blake must not only save himself, but thousands of others slated for death by an unseen foe.

“Genghis” Kahn & the Manchurian Gambit. Why is the notorious leader of the Red Skull Legion pirate gang rescuing a lady in distress, returning gold, and duking it out in blazing air battles from Manhattan to Manchuria with no plunder in sight? Wonders never cease.

Bayou Blues. Ever since flying ace Nathan Zachary made a pirate ship out of a stolen zeppelin, the gentleman air-pirate and his “Fortune Hunters” gang have roamed the globe in search of money, fame, and adventure. But a double-dealing Cajun sky-thief, a crooked businessman, and a pair of star-crossed lovers may just trump this ace in a high-stakes, high-altitude con game.

KAAAAHNNN (Crimson Skies - Part 2)

Kevin Erhard — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 12:00:00 -0100

We move on to the second story in the book, The Manchurian Gambit written by Michael B. Lee! This one has it all, kidnappings, kidnappings, double crosses, another kidnapping I think? And a trip to the Marshall Islands!

I'm a sucker for these kinds of pure adventure stories so we are having a good time with this one. In this episode we read the novella by Eric Nylund set in the Crimson Skies universe (which seems like it is fresh for revisting to be honest).

Mysterious explosions have rocked the planet, setting off a series of supernatural phenomena known as the Death Stranding. Spectral creatures that devour the living have pushed humanity to the brink of extinction, causing countries to fall and survivors to scatter and live in pockets of isolation. Sam Porter Bridges, the legendary porter with the ability to return from the world of the dead, has been entrusted with a critical mission by the President of the United Cities of America.

Book Synopsis

"Zombies. Mutant animals. Bioengineered weapons and surgically enhanced monsters. Secret labs and widespread conspiracies. It seemed impossible, but Jill Valentine and her teammates among the S.T.A.R.S. had seen it all firsthand when the Umbrella Corporation turned Raccoon City into a staging ground for the most insidious genetic experiments ever conceived. After all she's been through, Valentine is ready to leave that remote mountain community forever.

But Umbrella isn't finished with Raccoon City.

Too much evidence of their unethical and immoral research still exists. It must be recovered or destroyed -- and quickly -- before it can be traced back to Umbrella. And with William Birkin's mutagenic virus already spreading through the city like wildfire, drastic measures are needed. Under cover of night, mercenary teams have entered the city, along with something else -- Umbrella's failsafe: an evolved version of its Tyrant-class killing machines, a lethal creature code-named Nemesis. Now Nemesis is on the hunt. And Jill Valentine is about to become prey."

Synopsis

2559. It has been a year since the rogue artificial intelligence Cortana seized control of the Domain, an otherworldly dimension housing a vast information network. With an array of Forerunner weapons at her disposal, Cortana set out to enforce an authoritarian peace on the civilizations of the galaxy. But as the United Nations Space Command flagship Infinity prepares to strike against Cortana at Zeta Halo, another plan has also been set in motion.

An ancient access point hidden on a seemingly insignificant human colony has become the focus of a parallel effort to claim the Domain and its immeasurable capabilities. The UNSC, however, needs a key: a living, forsaken product of an old war. As a new generation of heroes rise to meet this challenge and Cortana's pursuit of control reaches a desperate and sudden crescendo, a cunning, ruthless warrior emerges from the shadows of the Banished, who has vowed to fill the new power vacuum by any means necessary...

Synopsis

The year is 2144...and the battle over Earth's precious resources has raged for a century. With global economies in ruins and all-out world war more than a possibility, the U.S government turned to the Union Aerospace Corporation, giving it carte blanche on the legendary red planet of Mars in a desperate bid to construct an off-world outpost that might provide resources, a military advantage...as well as something so secret that even members of government don't have a clue about it....

Special Ops Marine Lieutenant John Kane was once a careerist simply glad to have a job, and couldn't care less about politics just as long as Uncle Sam's check cleared. But that was before he listened to his conscience and disobeyed a direct order. Busted down to private, Kane has been reassigned to the "U.S. Space Marines" -- the private army of the UAC -- with the prospect of becoming little more than a glorified security guard on Mars....

Now Lt. Kane's fate leads him to Mars City -- part environmental community, part lab center, and all owned and protected by the UAC. It's a strange world with a fatal environment, and the thousands who live and work within the city have already begun to think of themselves as Martians. And away from Mars City, at the strange ancient sites uncovered on the planet, a small squad of marines stand guard while scientists uncover wall glyphs and search for artifacts, having already found something that is so far amazing and inexplicable -- including the relic called "U1," nicknamed "the Soul Cube" -- and unknown to all, the bringer of destructive chaos and unspeakable horror....

Book Synopsis

His name’s Roland. Soldier class, a former mercenary, he’s on a full-time mission to scrape a living out of the most dangerous planet in the galaxy.

Is he qualified? He’s well armed, he’s ruthless, and he’s tougher than skag hide. And, oh yeah—he’s strapped with some of the most exotic weaponry this side of the Vault, not to mention possessing fists like chunks of steel.

Zac Finn and his wife and young son had better get on the right side of Roland, because a stopover in orbit has turned into a nightmarish fall to the unforgiving landscape of the Borderlands. Zac hopes to find a strange new alien treasure in the Borderlands to turn his down-spiraling life around. But his wife, Marla, and his son, Cal, just want to survive, and reunite, because catastrophe has left them separated by hundreds of klicks. Their chances aren’t good . . . and Roland is all that stands between them and the planet’s kill-crazed Psychos and murderous bandits—not to mention the grotesque primals, giant wyrm squids, insane tunnel rats, voracious skags, brutal bruisers, and ruthless mercs.

The last third of this adventure seemingly is more of an adventure than the other two thirds of the book, but it's way too little too late for Max Brook's vision of Minecraft. We will probably get around to reading the other parts of this thrillogy at some point though to see where it leads.

Book Synopsis

Washed up on a beach, the lone castaway looks around the shore. Where am I? Who am I? And why is everything made of blocks? But there isn’t much time to soak up the sun. It’s getting dark, and there’s a strange new world to explore!

The top priority is finding food. The next is not becoming food. Because there are others out there on the island . . . like the horde of zombies that appears after nightfall. Crafting a way out of this mess is a challenge like no other. Who could build a home while running from exploding creepers, armed skeletons, and an unstoppable tide of hot lava? Especially with no help except for a few makeshift tools and sage advice from an unlikely friend: a cow.

Minecraft: The Island - Part 2

Kevin Erhard — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Okay this book mayyyy be one of the most boring that we have ever read? I'm not sure where it's going, there's not a TON of stuff happening, there's not a lot of drama that doesn't feel like all the tension has already been drained out of. I dunno. But hey Kevin learned a new word, Epistolary! So He's going to be using that more than he should over the next few weeks, look forward to THAT.

Fable: Edge of the World - Part 3

Kevin Erhard — Wed, 01 May 2024 07:00:00 +0000

We let the cat out of the bag early on in this episode that we did NOT like this book. Honestly though we let that particular cat out at the 1/3 mark as well so not much has changed. In this part, our hero and unnamed King goes to battle with a SUPER HOT Empress and he loses and all his friends leave him and then the book ends? Or that's what YOU think right? Also the Queen has trust issues over on the other side of the world.

Book Synopsis

It's been almost a decade since the events of Fable 3, when the Hero vanquished the threat across the sea and claimed his throne. As king he led Albion to an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity. But on the night of his wedding to his new queen, ominous word arrives: The darkness has returned. Beyond a harrowing mountain pass, the exotic desert country Samarkand has been overrun by shadowy forces. Within the walls of its capital city, a mysterious usurper known only as the Empress has seized control. To protect his realm, the king must lead his most trusted allies into a strange land unknown to outsiders. As they forge ahead along Samarkand's ancient Great Road, populated by undead terrors and fantastic creatures once believed to be the stuff of legend, the king is drawn ever closer to his greatest challenge yet. But soon Albion is engulfed in a war of its own. As the darkness spreads, town by town, a treacherous force has infiltrated the queen's circle. Now the fate of all that is good rests with a faint flicker of hope . . . that somewhere, somehow, heroes still do exist.

Fable: Edge of the World - Part 2

Kevin Erhard — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Phil and Kevin continue with the book, Fable: Edge of the World, because they started it and there wouldn't be a show if they stopped reading every book they didn't like. There! Ya happy! Anyway the King and his gang continue to adventure into foreign lands to practice a little unasked for "FREEDOMING" and run into a number of hurdles, like Sirens, water that turns people into werewolves, and just general malaise and ennui.

Wait that last one is us. Back on the homefront, Queen Layla has got people begging darling please to shoot guns better and she yells at all over her advisors for being just... terrible handlers.

Book Synopsis

An original novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

Stripped of armor, might, and memory, the legendary Forerunner warrior known as the Didact was torn from the physical world following his destructive confrontation with the Master Chief and sent reeling into the mysterious depths of a seemingly endless desert wasteland. This once powerful and terrifying figure is now a shadow of his former self—gaunt, broken, desiccated, and alone. But this wasteland is not as barren as it seems. A blue light glints from a thin spire in the far distance…

Thus begins the Didact’s great journey—the final fate of one of the galaxy’s most enigmatic and pivotal figures.

Halo: Outcasts - Part 1

Kevin Erhard — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 07:00:00 +0000

New series! And an early one at that. We are reading the brand spanking new book from Troy Denning, Halo: Outcasts! The story acts as a bridge of sorts between Halo 5 and the events of Halo: The Rubicon Protocol. As a note: we received our copies of the book EARLY courtesy of the publisher. That being said our opinions are our own. With that out of the way, let's dive in and see what Thel 'Vadam and Olymia Vale are up to.

On today's episode we start our journey through Diablo: The Black Road by Mel Odom. Not the painter Mel Odom, but the author for hire! This book is pretty highly rated from what we've seen on various "reading apps" but so far we remain unconvinced. But there's plenty of Kevin Klein in Pirates of Penzance References we make so hopefully that makes up for it?

This is CERTAINLY a BOOK. Written by Jane Jensen and based on the video game of the same name, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers tells the story about a terrible writer who decides to investigate the Voodoo Murders in New Orleans. It goes places. As a Content Warning the depictions of Voodoo and the black residents of New Orleans leaves a lot to be desired. If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, feel free to skip this series!

Heyyoooo, new series! Come aboard for this two parter featuring special guest HotCyder of the Bullet Time podcast. Not only does he host the preeminent podcast on shooters that have missed their mark he is the thumbnail king of youtube, and a pretty spiffy YouTuber in his own right.

Bionic Commando is another Worlds of Power special, which were produced by friend of the pod Seth Godin back in the late 80s and early 90s. This one follows the adventures of the titular Bionic Commando as he advances into Badd territory to save his friend, Super Joe. It's uh, great. Part 2 of this special will be up next week.

Also as an aside, there has been some crunchiness going on with the audio lately and I believe it might have to do with our recording platform. Just FYI, I am investigating how to solve it and if we have to move our recordings elsewhere.

Happy New Year! We are back kicking off 2023 with a three part series on Alien Isolation by Keith R.A. DeCandido. The game that it is based on, also called Alien Isolation is by far one our favorite games of all time. It's set a decade or so after the disappearance of The Nostromo, the ship featured in the original Alien film. The main character is the 20-something daughter of Ellen Ripley, named Amanda, who is on her way to Sevastopol Station which claims they have received the Nostromo flight recorder, and possibly information on her mother's whereabouts. And that's when things go horribly wrong.

So listen in as we read, recap, and review Alien Isolation to kick off 2023! It's going to be a great year, and we thank you for joining us.

If you are looking for something that is a "good nuanced handling of the issues handled in Bioshock Infinite" well, you're looking in the wrong place. We had a good time though dissecting what went wrong with this book, as well as what went wrong with the game that it is tied to.

New series! ICO was a game made by ICO team in the early 2000s. The game released after it, Shadow of the Colossus is must more well known but a lot of the "quiet world" design elements were first shown off in ICO. This book which was released a few years later, was written by Miyuki Mizabe and translated into english by Alexander O. Smith.

So far we have been having a great time with the book! In this episode we cover the first chapter and a little bit of the second which adds a bunch of story and context to the game.

Welcome to the FINALE of Dark Souls: Masque of Vindication. This book was terrible. Not going to pull any punches. What you are about to listen to is a podcast episode featuring two men just absolutely losing their faith in a book.

During the Whaddya Playin segment, Kevin gets really nerdy about Marvel Snap, a collectible card game for your phone featuring Marvel Characters. See it's actually really good because it's– oh I'm being told to stop talking about it.

Enjoy the finale of Dark Souls: Masque of Vindication. There is no Masque. Or even a Mask. It's a bummer. Next week we will be starting what is shaping up to be an EXCELLENT book in Ico: Castle in the Mist, which is based on the early 2000s game ICO.

Dark Souls: Masque of Vindication Part 2

Kevin Erhard — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 07:00:00 -0100

Welcome back to Dark Souls: Masque of Vindication! We had a little more trouble with this section and it feels like we are starting to go off the rails a little bit with this book. We are introduced to some new characters. Those characters go away though so don't get too attached. Phil's cat interrupts by trying to climb the grate on his computer. It's a barrel of laughs and fun!

We really want to stress that we think Michael Stackpole is a good author, and that we have, in fact, read a bunch of his stuff and it was good. Regardless. This book!

During the Whaddya Playin segment we discussed some interesting titles, such as Card Shark, and How Fish is Made.

New series! We are reading through Shadowkeep, which is potentially the first videogame novelization ever! It was written by Alan Dean Foster and based on the videogame Shadowkeep by Spinnaker Software. We first heard about this book when we interviewed Seth Godin to ask him about the Worlds of Power series.

The book is about a blacksmith's apprentice named Practor Fime who takes on the quest to slay the demon Dal'brad who has taken up refuge in Shadowkeep, the deadliest fortress ever constructed.

New Series! Perfect time to jump on. Phil and Kevin are talking about Dead Space: Martyr by B.K. Evenson and boy-howdy is it certainly a BOOK.
