Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, hosted by Brigid & Clint. This is the third part of our coverage of The Faith of Beasts, the second novel in the series! This episode is spoilers for the entirety of The Captive's War Universe.

In this episode:

• Dafyd rounds out his cabinet by recruiting/blackmailing Uuya Tomos to be his minister of propaganda.
• Jessyn uncovers a loot drop of fresh fruit and also meets some new friends.
• Tonner talks ex-girlfriends with his completely and totally objective buddy Jellit and ponders the deep mysteries of the Lothark.
• Brigid compares this portion to a Cormac McCarthy joint and drops a story about munching pills.
• Clint has some weird clipping on his mic (sorry!) wonders whether the Carryx even cares if their humans mix with other humans (they don't!) and chides everyone who thinks that Livesuit isn't essential reading (it is!).
• The Swarm continues behaving in a delightfully reckless manner, wonder if that will come back to bite it in the future?
• We get the big reveal of the first part of the book (CORVALL!!!!).
