Nerds of the Old Republic: The Drinking Person’s #Scifi Club

Timothy Zahn's book Star Wars:Thrawn

Hey Nerds! We're talking all things lightsabers, inter-galactic politics and Empirical Navy in Timothy Zahn's  Star Wars: Thrawn. We're nerding out about this evil character's development, the Governor and *GASP* Luke Skywalker?!
 
We loved this book. In fact, we loved it so much there's a special BONUS 'cast coming out later this month. If you want to make sure you're keeping up drink-for-drink, check out our Thrawn promo post for the recipe for Blue Bantha Milk Cocktails, courtesy of liquor.com

3001 by Arthur C. Clarke Book Club

Join us Nerds as we talk about the book that ended Arthur C. Clarke's Odyssey series, and Shaun's dislike of Snow Crash. We'll go from martinis to beer in our book club odyssey where I find that really, one martini would have sufficed.
Plus, we announce that Thrawn by Timothy Zahn is the next book in our series, so grab yourself a copy!
