Ben and Nate discuss Thrawn by Timothy Zahn (Thrawn #1). It's been far too long since Ben and Nate checked in on their favorite Chiss Grand Admiral. This time we tackle the tale of Thrawn's rise to power within the Imperial Navy. Will Thrawn be able to gain power without compromising his morals? Will he be able to discover the true nature of The Emperor's secret project? (It's the Death Star. It's always The Death Star.) Support the showBlue Sky - https://bsky.app/profile/wordsaboutbooks.bsky.socialDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/

This week Nate clones himself endlessly in an attempt to destroy Ben's will to exist. Also he discusses a book with a similar idea called We Are Legion We Are Bob. Will Nate win Ben over to reading this book and finding enjoyment in programmer humor? Or will he just use this as a shallow excuse to hurt Ben using literature as his weapon?
