After the Twilight of the Gods, the world is precariously uncertain - and Xena and Gabrielle have been missing from it for twenty-five years. Even without Livia, the power of Rome is growing: Caesar is determined to conquer by lies what he can't conquer by force, and the people at its edges know what's coming. (All roads lead to Rome, and Rome is hunting.) Xena and Gabrielle scramble to stop him before they have to wage war against a man they once called a friend. But along the way, Xena will have to confront her past against a rogue band of women warriors, and Gabrielle, whose secret visions are becoming prophecy, will have to protect Xena - at any cost.

MAJOR SPOILERS POLL OF THE WEEK
Major Spoilers Poll of the Week: Wonder Twin Powers Activate!
If you want to suggest a trade paperback, you need to send an email to podcast@majorspoilers.com. That suggestion will go into the hopper and at least once a month, we’ll pick a number of suggestions for you to vote on, and at the end of the polling period, the book with the most votes will get the Major Spoilers Podcast treatment.
DISCUSSION:
There is a lot of listener e-mail this week, and one asks, “What’s wrong with Kansas?” We do dive into the political arena for about 15 minutes with our (biased) views on the situation. Other than that, some really great comments and questions this month!
Outraged by Kansas Justices' Rulings, Republicans Seek to Reshape Court (Published 2016)
TOPEKA, Kan. - Washington is locked in partisan warfare over control of the Supreme Court. But it is hardly the only place. Look at the states, where political attacks on judicial decisions are common and well-financed attack ads are starting to jar the once-sleepy elections for State Supreme Court seats.

Great show. I feel like I know more about Kansas politics than any other state (except new York)
