In a far distant future, humanity has conquered the stars due to the discovery or a rare mineral called Vitalerium. As our civilization has reached upward to the heavens, the nature of mankind has changed very little. Oppressive governments, criminal gangs, and corporate overlords still run the show and most of humankind struggles to fight for the scraps of what they’ve left behind. This is the reality that Nicholas Keating Casbarro has created in his new novel and comic book series, Vitalerium: Descent Into the Void, a book that combines the best parts of Star wars-like sci-fi with Quentin Tarantino-like crime drama. On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast Kristian has a chat with Nicholas about the star spanning universe he’s created and the rich tapestry he’s developed for what is the first chapter of a series of novels he plans to write.
