It's the Grand FINALE of .EXE by Robin Jeffrey! The Beautiful Serpent strikes again and our heroes are at rock bottom, but by the end Cadence reveals all the clues and criminals she has unearthed, and we get a surprise reaction from Dr. Merton. We also learn more about anamanecron culture, Felix's will, and Desdemona's fate. Other topics include writing beginnings and conclusions, character redemption arcs, cliff hangers, romantic endings, and werewolves! -- Thank You to Our Sponsors: Spotify For Podcasters Audible free trial (for USA listeners) available at: audibletrial.com/fanbookspod -- Website: www.fantasticbookspod.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/fantasticbookspod (or follow @fantasticbookspod) Facebook: www.facebook.com/fantasticbookspod Shop: www.etsy.com/shop/FantasticBooksPod -- Buy ".EXE" by Robin Jeffrey here. -- Published by Goldenrise Media. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fantasticbooks/message

Four crimes have been committed at the Hale household and Cadence and Chance are avidly pursuing the culprit. They're able to get into Felix's room where they discover a secret docu-chip with letters from an old flame. Cadence uses her skills to acquire EO documents about Desdemona and search Dr. Merton's bag. They also dig deeply into Verity's past and dig around in the cider pot, but all this evidence seems unimportant when Minerva is added to the list of victims. Brisbois arrests Minerva's husband, Solomon, but Sam and Ana are convinced he's making a huge mistake, so they reveal their final predictions for next episode, which will cover the conclusion of .EXE. Other topics include: death, robot emotions, sentience, social constructs, The Wind in the Willows, Story Cubes, books vs. e-books, Samuel R. Delany's "Stars in my Pocket like Grains of Sand," grief, and tattoos. -- Thank You to Our Sponsors: Spotify For Podcasters Audible free trial (for USA listeners) available at: audibletrial.com/fanbookspod -- Website: www.fantasticbookspod.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/fantasticbookspod (or follow @fantasticbookspod) Facebook: www.facebook.com/fantasticbookspod Shop: www.etsy.com/shop/FantasticBooksPod -- Buy ".EXE" by Robin Jeffrey here. -- Published by Goldenrise Media. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fantasticbooks/message

Chance makes a shocking discovery about Cadence that sours his opinion of her, but he can't stay mad at her for long because he needs her help. Inspector Brisbois has accused Chance of being suspect number one and stealing his father's will, so he teams up with Cadence to investigate the crimes. They look into each house guest's motivations and Chance goes on a solo clue-finding mission that may be more useful than he initially realizes. Other topics include: naming characters, AI, cover design, otherness and being othered, character names, maps in books, beta readers, grey characters, human capacity for lovce and kindness, and overheard conversations -- Thank You to Our Sponsors: Spotify For Podcasters Audible free trial (for USA listeners) available at: audibletrial.com/fanbookspod -- Website: www.fantasticbookspod.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/fantasticbookspod (or follow @fantasticbookspod) Facebook: www.facebook.com/fantasticbookspod Shop: www.etsy.com/shop/FantasticBooksPod -- Buy ".EXE" by Robin Jeffrey here. -- Published by Goldenrise Media. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fantasticbooks/message

Robin Jeffrey is an Emeritus Professor of Politics at La Trobe University and the ANU and chairs an advisory panel for the Australia-India Institute.
