In this podiobook: The tree is beautiful and they call her Eden. Her branches reach for the stars. She is like all other trees on planet Earth save for her enormous size. Still, she has leaves and she has bark. She turns sunlight into life. But this tree does not sprout from the dirt. Eden fills the sky, high in orbit above the blue expanse of Uranus. There she changes humanity's very concept of extraterrestrial life. Dr. Malcolm Green is sent to Eden to audit a science team studying this extraordinary tree from the dark confines of space station Lola. But with unexplainable accidents plaguing the team, tensions are mounting between scientists and custodial staff. Is there a future for this project and Lola? Only Malcolm Green can make that call. From the second he sets foot on Lola, Malcolm's own future becomes at stake. He soon finds that love, friendship, and his own mortality tremble like a leaf at the sound of Eden's call. Eden is the latest podcast fiction offering from Phil Rossi, author of Crescent and Notes from the Vault.

George Lucas's Blockbusting may sound like a book chronicling George Lucas' rise to box office dominance, first through his Star Wars films, and then through Indiana Jones and the other movies he's been a part of; however, this book is actually a cultural and financial look at movies through history, including what Lucas and the editors deemed the 300 "Blockbuster" movies from 1913 through 2005. On this episode of Books & Nachos, Arnie interviews Alex Ben Block to discuss how the included films were selected, and then reviews this book to see if it deserves a place on your bookshelf!

Books & Nachos' sister podcast, Now Playing, is spending November reviewing all of the Rambo films, so Books & Nachos decided to look back at Rambo's origin in David Morell's 1972 classic novel First Blood. How does the book compare to the legend? Listen to Arnie's review to find out, then come back later this month as Arnie interviews David Morell about Rambo!
First Blood by David Morell
10:29
Rambo made his first appearance in 1972 in David Morrell's novel First Blood, which was then adapted into a film. The film was a huge success, and so a sequel was made written by James Cameron and Sylvester Stallone. As movie novelizations are big business a novel was commissioned. None of this is shocking until you look closely at the cover--Rambo's original creator, David Morrell, returned to write the novelization of his character in a story in which he had no input. This is a very unique situation, and since our partner podcast Now Playing is reviewing all the Rambo films we felt this movie novelization would be worth a look. Listen to find out if we were right!
Rambo - First Blood Part 2 by David Morrell
18:23
This week on Books & Nachos, we look at Rambo 3, written by David Morrell, author of the original Rambo novel First Blood. The film was a financial disappointment and almost killed the Rambo film franchise, but was the book our worst literary nightmare, or could Morrell save this plotline from the torture? Listen to find out! Then come back to booksandnachos.com next week as Arnie sits down with David Morrell to discuss all three Rambo novels!

Finishing our series looking back at the Rambo novels and novelizations, Arnie sits down with author David Morrell. Morrell wrote First Blood over a decade before Stallone embodied the character onscreen, and then Morrell returned to Rambo by novelizing the screenplays for the first two film sequels. Now David Morrell opens up about why he chose to adapt someone else's story for his character, his thoughts on the films and the Rambo cartoon series, and tell us about how Rambo has influenced his career.
