The gods make Shep a surprising offer.
This is the final segment. Thanks for listening! We’d love to hear your thoughts on the story now that all is said and done. If you enjoyed it and would like to support Prometheus Radio Theatre’s future efforts, please consider buying a copy of the trade paperback of Peace Lord, scheduled for release on July 21 from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and a host of other online retailers. Details to follow here!
Humanity versus divinity in final battle.
Philip makes his bid against Shep in battle. Shep has other ideas about who the real enemy is.
Ethan Wilson, Tim Van Blarcom, Sarah Hayman as Dr Horrible, Captain Hammer and Penny
Two of our regulars, Ethan and Tim, plus friend Sarah, grabbed a nod for Best Lip-Syncing at last year’s Balticon Masquerade as they reenacted a scene from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. The photo was featured in the Baltimore Sun’s coverage of Balticon 44, which kicks off today. Appropriately, the article showcases activities for young fans, and the chosen subjects are great examples of the benefits of welcoming young people into Fandom. Ethan is a third-generation SFF fan. Tim is second-generation. Amidst busy high school and college schedules, both serve on the Farpoint committee and are often seen on the convention stage. Ethan is also a veteran of many convention Masquerades and Art Shows, and has written for Prometheus.
With the lives of Xhylanna and Hylas in the balance, Shep faces off against Raxes’s chosen champion — his old friend Philip.
Seeing through the Pretender’s eyes, Shep lives the final chapter of the gods’ time on old Earth. Raxes refuses to take his part in the planned revolt and tries to reach out to his true father.
Seeking help in getting Xhylanna back from Raxes, Shep and Hylas confront the gods of New Earth face to face.
I’ll be representing Prometheus and Firebringer at Balticon. If you’re attending, catch up with me at these events:
Saturday, May 29
3:00 to 5:00 PM, Parlor 1041, Book Launch - Peace Lord of the Red Planet
6 PM, Chesapeake, Audio Theatre Today. Since the earliest days of radio, audio theater has engaged the imaginations of millions in a unique way. Though it never went away, the age of the internet has brought a new vibrance to the scene, withamateur productions popping up all over and professional groups finding new ways to reach people. From the retro to the experimental, this panel will discuss the state of audio theater productions today, where they came from, and where they are going.
9 PM, Derby Room, MODERATOR for Baltimore Fan Culture. Baltimore is one of the most nerd-friendly towns on the East Coast. New around here? We’ll talk about area events, hotspots, landmarks and all the great things you need to know. Fellow panelists are John Cmar, Laura Burns, and Bryan Prindiville.
Sunday, May 30
11 AM, Derby Room, MODERATOR for Storytelling. Be it sitting around the campfire, gossiping over the fence, or blogging and podcasting, we’ve always been up for hearing a new story, or passing on an old one. The Internet has given us a much bigger audience and helped to pull the focus off of the few who could afford to get into mass communication under the old TV and radio models. What is the continuous thread which New Media helps us to follow, and how might it better fulfill our longtime need to tell our stories? Fellow panelists are Patrick E. McLean, Heather Welliver, and Brad Smith.
2 PM, Maryland Foyer, David Sherman and Steven H. Wilson Autograph Session
3 PM, Salon D, Steven H Wilson Reading
Shep and his companions set out for the home of the gods of New Earth. Within sight of their goal, they are attacked by an anrgy god as Shep meets the Firechild in the divine flesh.
Sorry this is a week late. Steve was working a con in Portland, OR, which may get a podcast rant all to itself.
Shep goes through two profound life changes in one night and stands trial for espionage. Leadership in the city of Jentana changes.
This is it - the chapter that proves this is NOT your grandfather’s sword and sorcery epic. Once again, check your armchair psychologist’s license at the door. Enjoy!
