Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, hosted by Brigid & Clint. Episode 6 covers the sixth and FINAL part of The Mercy of Gods, SMALL BATTLES IN THE GREAT WAR.

In this episode:

• Dafyd sells out the resistance in exchange for that sweet swarm lovin'.
• We say goodbye to Synnia, Jon Bernthal, and the rest of the resistance crew with one rather notable exception.
• your hosts lay out the podcast's plans for the next several episodes.
• we speculate wildly on the nature of the half mind, the swarm, livesuits, and the other quasi-living semi-intelligent things.
• Ekur-Tklal gets a promotion/demotion and gets hornt up by the Sovran.
• Dafyd loses his girlfriend (kinda) and gives the Independence Day speech that he was born to give.
• The Swarm is one billiondy heart eyes emoji over Mr. Alkhor.
• Brigid has a very correct theory about why ET picked Dafyd as liason.
• Clint muses about the singular nature of The Captive's War, and guesses who the titular captive is.
• we finish our part-by-part series of tMoG with a bang.

Join us next time when we do an overview wrap of The Mercy of Gods, discussing themes, unanswered questions, and more! Follow the Mercy of Pods on social media at themercyofpods, or email us at themercyofpods@gmail.com. Logo by Matt Howse. Music is Push The Button by Sid Luscious and the Pants.
