We discuss the second part of Simogo's 2024 mystery-puzzle-box video game 'Lorelei and the Laser Eyes'. The jig is up, and Lorelei Weiss finally has to be honest with herself about what happened in 1963. Our final puzzles see us answering the Quiz Club on all of the knowledge we've acquired so far, and delving right into the heart of the supercomputer at the core of it all.
We're also joined by Iain Ryan to talk about his second novel in his Queensland Quarter - 'The Dream'. As Fantasyland's construction stalls on the 1980s Gold Coast, the cauldron of political corruption surrounding the big money of The Strip gets the gears turning, lubricated with blood and blackmail.
Thank you to Ultimo Press for sending copies of 'The Dream' and helping arrange our time with Iain.
