This week things are very different in the novel this week. We leave the comfort of
the Tranquility and DSCOS-58 to find Captain Tiberius Hunter and his ex-wife
Amelia on the battle cruiser the Turmoil, themselves natives of the universe
Jack and his crew have found themselves in and on their way to a dinner with
the Imperator of the Evil Illmarian Imperium. It’s far less interesting than it
sounds. This episode we discuss who we think these people are, with their very
odd relationship, discuss the logistical problems of the grand dining hall in
the Imperialis Basilica that the Imperator makes his home and speculate on the
links the galaxy spanning Illmarian Imperium may have with a certain fast food
chain, from way over extrapolating two words in the chapter to start telling a
story we’d rather be reading than this one.
