🎙️ Alley Chats – Episode: 60 Seconds to Save the World with Lawrence C. Connolly

In this episode of Alley Chats, Rob sits down with award-winning author Lawrence C. Connolly to discuss his thrilling new novel, Minute-Men: Execute & Run, a pulse-pounding fusion of military sci-fi, superhero action, and medical suspense.

Known for his genre-spanning storytelling, Connolly's work has appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Twilight Zone, and Year's Best Horror. His story "This Way to Egress" was adapted for Mick Garris's film Nightmare Cinema, and his short fiction collections Voices and Visions have earned critical acclaim.

Now, with Minute Men: Execute & Run, Connolly reinvents the superhero genre. Imagine Mission Impossible meets X-Men—but you've only got 60 seconds to save the day.

🧬 About Minute Men: Execute & Run
U.S. Marine Daniel Hayes, scientist Dr. Christian Chase, Ukrainian fighter Zoya Zynchenko, and bounty hunter Max "Jaxx" Jaquez have all been broken by trauma. When reclusive biotech genius Norman Blackwell offers them a chance to become something extraordinary, they gain superhuman abilities—but only for a minute at a time. Their mission: stop a ruthless corporate warlord from weaponizing life-saving nanotech.

It's a story of redemption, resilience, and the human spirit under pressure. And it's already being considered for a major Hollywood production.

We talk about:

• The origins of Minute Men and its cinematic influences

• Balancing character-driven drama with sci-fi action

• Writing across genres: from horror to speculative fiction

• The evolution of storytelling from page to stage and screen

• His collaboration on the Mystery Theatre Podcast and upcoming Edgar Allan Poe stage production

If you love high-stakes thrillers, cinematic storytelling, and thought-provoking speculative fiction, this episode is a must-listen.
