Episode Seven of Convergence (Out on the Fringe Podcast)

4.5 out of 5 stars

If you’re unfamiliar with serialized fiction – it’s the idea that you take a story and separate it out into episodes – like a TV show.  These are usually released on a website or as a podcast. I’ll be reviewing each episode separately as they come out to provide an episode by episode review of the story. Read my reviews of Episode One, Episode Two, Episode Three, Episode Four, Episode Five, Episode Six.

Some of my reviews may contain spoilers to past episodes – I’ll try and keep that to a minimum but I can’t guarantee anything.

Best line from this episode: “It had become a joke that even if the US Army lost, the lawyers would kill the PRC for sure.”

Hicks is a fantastic author.  I know he’s building to something big and while in that “building” phase, we’re still treated to some flashbacks and use of the memory technology.  I flew through today’s episode and it was over before I realized it.

In this episode, we’re treated to a new camp and some new people to hate. We’re also reunited with his daughter but she basically wants nothing to do with him. From that point, I’m not really sure what is going to happen and I can’t even begin to venture a guess. I think I know where Hicks will go, but I’m probably way off base.

This episode was one of the shorter ones but I didn’t notice.  It just passed the time quickly and really helped move the story along.  You feel more and more for these characters as it goes on – even if they’re a bit of an antihero.
