Show Notes

Set in an alternate version of America’s recent past, Elliot Ackerman’s latest, “Halcyon,” is a chilling novel about two self-made men confronting a world that seems to be moving on without them. It grapples with what history means, who is affected by it, and how the complexities of our shared future rest on the dual foundations of remembering and forgetting.
