Happy Thanksgiving to you and all our IFfers everywhere! A very special show this week with the dazzling science fiction author, Tom Merritt, inspired by his newest book, TRIGOR, the rip roarin’ second novel in the incredible PILOT X universe.

Inspired by Tom’s insane mastery of the mechanisms of TIME TRAVEL, and as the horrors of holiday shopping loom on the horizon, we explore (in real time!) the fantasy of…. what if we could POP into a parking spot at any point in time?! What The If there were a time travel TRAFFIC Jam?!

Find TRIGOR and all of Tom Merritt’s amazing sci-fi on his official website.

Tom is also an award-winning, and beloved, independent tech podcaster and host of regular tech news and information shows, including, for sci-fi fans: Sword and Laser, a science fiction and fantasy podcast, and book club with Veronica Belmont.
