The Wordy Pair PodcastMassacre of Mankind! No, Not the Policy, the Book!This week we're reviewing Stephen Baxter's "Massacre of Mankind."
It's an official sequel to H.G. Wells's "War of the Worlds," but it was written around 2017!
That means a lot of really obsolete ideas and concepts had to be revived to keep things consistent, and Baxter does a good job of maintaining a voice consistent with Wells's worldbuilding!
The book has some flaws, but is overall a fun piece of "faux-period" science fiction!

The Peter B Collins ShowPodcast #122Stephen Kohn, attorney and executive director of National Whistleblowers Center talks about Senate bill 372, which purports to strengthen protections for whistleblowers. White House lawyer Norman Eisen was invited to debate the bill, but declined. This is the next installment in the Boiling Frogs interview series, co-hosted with FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds. Edmonds and Kohn argue that the bill would weaken protection for FBI employees, and does not help national security whistleblowers (CIA, NSA, Defense). The bill is before Sen. Lieberman's Homeland Security Committee, and we encourage listeners to lobby their senators on this badly written legislation.
