Travis interviews author Christopher Paolini about To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, the first Fractalverse novel from Tor Books. Paolini’s debut science fiction novel is a massive standalone space opera following a xenobiologist. It has first contact gone wrong, meticulously researched faster than light travel, and an epic adventure across the universe.

Christopher and Travis discuss the secret Eldest film that almost was, what readers can expect for the future of the Fractalverse, and perhaps most importantly: the timeless art of the terrible pun.

• Sea of Stars by Jennifer Hale
• Talita Paolini’s Paolini Method books
