So now let's get to our show.

Hi, I'm David Barr-Curtley, author of the book Save Me Please and other stories, and welcome to episode 582 of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

Our guests today are James Winn and Craig Brewer, hosts of the rereading Wolf podcast, who you may remember from our feature interview back in episode 535.

And today on the show will be discussing Gene Wolfe's classic novel, The Fifth Head of Cerberus, about a pair of planets that may or may not be inhabited by shapeshifting aliens.

This is the book that first introduced Wolf's signature style of filling his narratives with complicated mysteries.

And it also established his reputation as one of the greatest science fiction authors of

the 1970s.

And this will include spoilers for everything in the book.

So just be aware of that.

And now here's our discussion with James Wynne and Craig Brewer.

All right.

So we're here with James Wynn and Craig Brewer.

Welcome to the show.

Hello, hello.

Yeah.

Good to be back even, I should say.
