Tune in: High Low

Friday, September 16 on Destinies-The Voice of Science Fiction

This week, Destinies presents a return visit from an author who is making his name in the field of science fiction satire.
Tune in Friday night, as J.R.H. Lawless makes his second live appearance this year to discuss his latest novel The Rude Eye of Rebellion: Book 2 of The General Buzz.

After two seasons of hosting the world's most popular reality competition show, Liam Argyle has had enough. But can one man bring down the industrial-military-entertainment-culinary-janitorial complex that runs the corporate dystopian world of the 2070s? Can he count on anyone else for help? And, what will happen to this series now that its publisher, Uproar Books, has closed its doors?

Find out, when author J.R.H. Lawless joins host Howard Margolin, to talk about and perform a scene from The Rude Eye of Rebellion.
