Nice interview with van Houten. But if I hear “Red Witch” one more time...

“it will not feature Donald Trump”. Are you sure about that? I swear I recall a preview mentioning “and a special guest apparance by Donald Trump as Aerys, The Mad King”. He fits. And it would be kinda interesting to see him and Jamie in a flashback/green vision of the last time a Targaryen sat on the Iron Throne. :)

Now let’s think for a moment: where do you think that big hunk of rock and ice is going to end up? *That* is a set-up...

Footfall would be a good choice but my preference would be Turtledove’s World War series. An alternate history of WW II (and later) where we’re invaded by reptilian-like aliens early in the war. This (sort of) brings the Earth factions together against a common foe. But the aliens are a very old culture that work…
