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.

This is the first time in the short history of New's that a conversation about a recently released book has spilled over to two skype sessions, though in this case, it's because we had some technical difficulties partway through instead of just simply running out of time. That means that this selection of hot takes are going to not all be piping hot, but just as delicious.
I can't include many details, since even including them is spoilers, but one of the things we talk about early on was one of our first episodes where we speculated on what the Phase 2 books were going to be about merely based on the Title Artwork over a year ago, with the addition of some of the beta artwork for characters and covers. We had next to nothing for the book that was merely titled 'Wendigos' at the time, and it has flowered into a most unexpected story indeed.
We start lighter, discussing the arc of the story, things we really liked, as well as the outline of the journey of our many characters which we dive deeper into in part 2. These and many other things await.
