    With a flash of light and a cloud of smoke the Scrolls Book Group reappears on stage to entertain and amaze you.  (Or at the very least distract you from the smelly tramp in the corner, the squalling kid in the back and that really creepy looking guy on the seat opposite - No, don't look!)

    Ably assisted by Kehaar from Dissecting Worlds and guest contributer Gazbox in their skin-tight golden bikinis, we take a focussed look at Chistopher Priest's most celebrated work,The Prestige.  You may have watched Christopher Nolan's film adaptation and think you've seen this trick before but trust us, there's a whole lot more going on in the wings.

    There are spoilers throughout - we couldn't really avoid them - but have we really revealed the authors secrets... or has he left us bamboozled and looking in the wrong direction?

    Read the book, listen in to our thoughts, then let us know what you think.  E-mail scrolls@hotmail.co.uk or tweet @scrollscast

    Iphone app Extra: The first two chapters of The Sentinel Mage, the beginning of Emily Gee's new fantasy book trilogy, released in shops on the 25th of January in the US and Canada, and on the 3rd of February in the UK.

    In which the most abominable, darkest, nastiest, blackest, vilest, most repellant, disgusting and disgraceful podcasters return to chat about baddies.  Duh!

    Technically we take a shifty at what makes for a good villain and how they've changed through the years, then we run amok trying to pin down all the different types and sub-types.

    In reality of course, we ramble off topic, fudge our lines and make things about as difficult for an editor as you can hope to imagine.  It was all them, yer honour.  Honest...

     

    Out of pure spite I've left a c-bomb in so you can all hear what a filthy brute Mattie is in real life.  For shame!

     

    I could list out all the books and occasional films mentioned so you know what you're getting into, but where would be the fun in that?  Discover what weird and random directions our twisted talk takes us by downloading this episode and injecting us... into your brains!

     

    You can send your outraged tweets to us @Scrollscast or @Dion_Scrolls

    Alternatively you can send your splenetic e-mails to us at scrolls@hotmail.co.uk

    or... simply assault us physically at the SFX Weekender on the first weekend of February.

    If your rage is aimed solely at me (Dion) I can also be punched at the Cardiff International Comics Expo on 26th Feb.

    The terrible twosome wrap up their miltiary series with a general chin wag about what've learned over the last 6 weeks.
    Not a lot, but in the course of this they consider does SF ever really tell miltiary stories? Where there is space to tell such stories?. How do Computer games fit in to genre military fiction?. Is there a miltiary fiction genre of it's own? Why is Outcasts so poo?
    They also consider modern British casualty sensitivity and consider the allogorical power of science fiction and how it's sometimes wasted in miltary SF. Matt is unkind to Footfall while discussing asymetrical warfare and Kehaar is as always the steady voice of wise counsel (not.)
    Needless to say they bounce around such historical matters as comedy Nazis, Northern Ireland and the British Indian Army.
    Details of 'Conspiracy' here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266425/
    Feedback is as ever welcome on the forums, or by emailing dissectingworlds@yahoo.co.uk. Same ports of call if you fancy guest hosting in our gender and sexuality series.

    With a flash of light and a cloud of smoke the Scrolls Book Group reappears on stage to entertain and amaze you.  (Or at the very least distract you from the smelly tramp in the corner, the squalling kid in the back and that really creepy looking guy on the seat opposite - No, don't look!)

    Ably assisted by Kehaar from Dissecting Worlds and guest contributer Gazbox in their skin-tight golden bikinis, we take a focussed look at Chistopher Priest's most celebrated work,The Prestige.  You may have watched Christopher Nolan's film adaptation and think you've seen this trick before but trust us, there's a whole lot more going on in the wings.

    There are spoilers throughout - we couldn't really avoid them - but have we really revealed the authors secrets... or has he left us bamboozled and looking in the wrong direction?

    Read the book, listen in to our thoughts, then let us know what you think.  E-mail scrolls@hotmail.co.uk or tweet @scrollscast

    Iphone app Extra: The first two chapters of The Sentinel Mage, the beginning of Emily Gee's new fantasy book trilogy, released in shops on the 25th of January in the US and Canada, and on the 3rd of February in the UK.

    In which the most abominable, darkest, nastiest, blackest, vilest, most repellant, disgusting and disgraceful podcasters return to chat about baddies.  Duh!

    Technically we take a shifty at what makes for a good villain and how they've changed through the years, then we run amok trying to pin down all the different types and sub-types.

    In reality of course, we ramble off topic, fudge our lines and make things about as difficult for an editor as you can hope to imagine.  It was all them, yer honour.  Honest...

     

    Out of pure spite I've left a c-bomb in so you can all hear what a filthy brute Mattie is in real life.  For shame!

     

    I could list out all the books and occasional films mentioned so you know what you're getting into, but where would be the fun in that?  Discover what weird and random directions our twisted talk takes us by downloading this episode and injecting us... into your brains!

     

    You can send your outraged tweets to us @Scrollscast or @Dion_Scrolls

    Alternatively you can send your splenetic e-mails to us at scrolls@hotmail.co.uk

    or... simply assault us physically at the SFX Weekender on the first weekend of February.

    If your rage is aimed solely at me (Dion) I can also be punched at the Cardiff International Comics Expo on 26th Feb.
