In 2013, Alex Shaw published a small novel called The Cartographer’s Handbook, the first in a series called The New Century Multiverse. The premise is alt history, where post-Civil War America is suddenly overcome with a plague of dangerous monsters that overwhelm the Reconstruction, and bring the nation to its knees. The series is not about its fall, however, but about the heroes that help bring it back from the brink, and step into a wider world that is not the one they knew. New mysteries to unlock, magics to discover, and worlds to explore. Ten years later, the New Century Multiverse is now thirteen books strong, with more on the way. It has had 2 major story arcs, an Avengers style coming together of the heroes of its various books, and multiple worlds and genres to explore. This is its first fan podcast. Through The Wind Door is a deep dive exploration of the novels and their corresponding audiodramas, along with interviews of the cast and creators. Accessible to new readers and long time fans, join Greg and Toby as they share thoughts about this engaging series.

And now for something completely different. Except not that different, because it's still New Century.
As we had to wait a bit to get Alex and Sharon back on the horn for the rest of our Stonespring Maidens interviews, me and Toby did a little speculation show on the implications of the new covers that had been shared over the last few months. Today we discuss the next two Thieves covers: Thief Knights and Dragon Flights, and The Worst Unicorn.
No music before or after, just us rambling, with some mild spoiler potential, but only for books that have already been published and out for a long while.
Thief Knights:
The Worst Unicorn:
Also, referring back to the titles Alex released back in 2020, which was partly source material for our first React video:

"They made the everything go differently!"
Long after React World (who?) has come and gone, people are still making "X Reacts!" videos and posting them on YouTube.
We're not on YouTube, thank god. But we are massive geeks, and when Alex posts artwork online to whet our appetites for more New Century Multiverse, you bet your bones that we are going to have opinions!
Featuring the artwork of Antonio Torresan, Vicky Kuhn, Diogo Lopes, and Dios Revoredo, as well as the font skills of Alex himself, we are going to speculate the shit out of what comes next in Phase Two of New Century. We're here, we're nerds, and we're over 9000!
