Welcome to How to Bake a Book! In this episode, hosts Mary and Cole begin their conversation about Locus Award-winning sci-fi novel The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders. Set on a tidally-locked alien planet, this book hits all the great milestones of a good sci-fi novel. It has aliens, political unrest, a deserted mothership floating around the planet in a slow orbit of decay, and terrible cocktails. Cole bakes legendary fruit bread and Mary learns a lot of new things about moles.
