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.

Trigger Warning for discussion of both fictional and real world police violence.
Today we finish off thoughts on Chapter 9 and move well into 10 and 11. Our cast of topics:
- Speculation on the fact that Truth and Harry are twins
- Our thoughts on Agent Li as she is portrayed from Chapter 10 and 12
- Wondering about how certain choices were made to include historical characters like Annie even though the Wendigo outbreak would dramatically change her story
- Our thoughts on Raven, both his influences and his role in the story
- And a brief discussion on the police-led murder introduced in these chapters, and it's basis from the real world history taking place during writing
This means that technically, the episode(s?) to come will be primarily focused only on Chapter 12... or will they? The scope of our conversation when picking a range of chapters is often related, after all...
