Jeffrey Thomas Interview
To continue Jeffrey Thomas season, Fantasy Book Critic gives a mammoth
interview with the man himself.
"Blue War" is definitely a bigger book than "Deadstock" in length,
scope and theme. "Deadstock" is pretty dark--especially where it
takes place entirely in seedy Punktown where "Blue War" does
not--and I'm not sure that "Blue War" is a "better" book. Despite
it having the same lead character, it is not really a sequel, and
it has a pretty different feel from "Deadstock." More serious, I'd
say, but not so grim and grave that it isn't fun, if not quite as
slam-bam as "Deadstock" is. For those who wanted more of Stake in
"Deadstock" (he actually shares half the book, his chapters
alternating with those of the other characters), he is very much
the focus of "Blue War," so much so that there are only two
scenes--the prologue and epilogue--in which he is absent.
