    2025-04-30—The Good Stuff on the Back Shelf: Saga of the Forgotten Warrior, After Moses

    Today, we’re talking about the good stuff. Some of the best reading I’ve had in a long time. The kind of stuff that only people who are in the know ask about. (At least, as far as I’m aware. Saga of the Forgotten Warrior and After Moses are criminally underrated.) But first! Inner Demon is…
