The Blasters & Blades PodcastCan the galaxy’s most dangerous monsters ever truly find a second chance? This week, we sit down with author and physician Jen Finelli to discuss her space opera thriller, Redemption. We dive into the dark underbelly of the Nephilim Universe, a place where cloning, genetic manipulation, and corporate greed turn human lives into commodities. Join us as we discuss how Jen weaves her real-world medical background into high-stakes sci-fi, and why the hardest thing to fight for in a brutal galaxy isn’t survival… it’s grace.
