08.17: Jo Walton in Conversation with Ada Palmer
2015-08-13 20:06:34| Powells Books Events Calendar
From Jo Walton, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Among Others, comes The Philosopher Kings (Tor). Twenty years have elapsed since the events of The Just City. The City, founded by the time-traveling goddess Pallas Athene, organized on the principles espoused in Plato's Republic and populated by people from all eras of human history, has now split into five cities, and low-level armed conflict between them is not unheard of. What Apollo, his daughter, and their expedition to the mysterious Eastern Mediterranean of pre-antiquity discover will change everything. Walton will be joined in conversation by Ada Palmer, author of the forthcoming novel, Dogs of Peace.
