This week Alice was joined by Dan Hanks, author of Captain Moxley and the Embers of the Empire, a historical fantasy about a very tired woman getting forced to do archaeology. We talked about Egypt, treasure hunting, pulp, repatriation, punching nazis, and why it's more fun to be creatively anachronistic.
Dan's latest book, Swashbucklers, is out now via Angry Robot. You can find him on twitter @dan_hanks or on his website.
Historical Friction is a podcast about storytelling, pop culture, the past, and why we reenact it.
