Jack Heath on the latest book in the deliciously dark and twisted Timothy Blake series 'Headcase'
Manage episode 348318019 series 3337568
A Chinese astronaut is found dead in a NASA training environment in Houston, Texas. No one can explain how he got there. Amid fears of a diplomatic catastrophe, the CIA dispatches Timothy 'Hangman' Blake to investigate a convicted kidnapper who works in the facility. Blake is deeply insane, afflicted by terrible urges he can barely control - but he's also brilliant. A secret Chinese spacecraft may be surveilling the United States, though Blake can see something much more sinister is going on. He might just survive long enough to uncover the truth but even if he does, will anyone believe him?
In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Jack Heath about somehow making a cannibalistic antihero likeable, how Timothy Blake can be both an asset and a liability for the CIA, Jack's fascination for science fiction and accidentally inventing new genres of fiction.
