Sara and Daniel interview author Alex White, who is a science fiction and horror writer, best-known for the Salvager series and their tie-in novels for the Aliens and Star Trek franchises. In this episode that explores ReadICT Category 6, a book set in space, Alex talks about their newest novel, August Kitko and the Mechas from Space, why writing speculative fiction can be cathartic, and why sci-fi is so much more than "big robots punch each other."
