LW1: Elliot Ackerman

Written By Michael Plunkett

Episode Description

New York Times Best Selling author Elliot Ackerman sits down with the LitWar Podcast to discuss his new novel HALCYON (out May 23rd) with host Michael Jerome Plunkett. Halcyon takes place in an alternate United States where Al Gore is president, the Global War on Terror only lasted a few months, and scientists have found a way to cure death.

  •   The Killer Angels - Michael Shaara

  •   Battle Cry of Freedom - James McPherson
