Vince Gilligan’s new show, Pluribus, is deservedly getting a lot of attention. It’s a fantastic series that will make you ask all sorts of questions… to say more would spoil it, but in my opinion, it’s well worth a watch.
One thing we did know going into the show’s premiere is that the lead, Carol Sturka (played by Better Call Saul’s Rhea Seehorn) is a romantasy author. We get a bit more detail about her writing in the first episode, where she’s on a book tour for the latest novel in her Winds of Wycaro series, which centers on Lucasia, the captain of a boat that sails on slipsand.
Lucasia is a ruthless leader apparently, though she can’t help but get entangled with the roguish Raban. The fans of the books (aka Wycarians) who we meet in the Pluribus’ premiere are excited for the next installment in the series, but are also upset that Raban isn’t on the cover. Lucasia ordered Raban to walk the plank at the end of the last book, you see, and as such must be presumed dead… unless he isn’t?! Carol, who holds some (a lot of?) disdain for her fans, grins and bears it during signings.
Winds of Wycaro comes up intermittently throughout Pluribus, and perhaps one of the many, many thoughts you might have while watching is, “I wonder what those books are all about.” Reader, I have good news for you: Apple has put out an excerpt from the latest Winds of Wycaro book, which is called Bloodsong of Wycaro. It includes a foreword from “Carol” herself, and shows Lucasia finding out that sexy Raban is, indeed, alive.
The text is an enjoyable read; it includes in-world terms like cyclocane and moonsburn, and also includes passages such as: “She would know that voice anywhere. As smooth as wyld bourbon and deep as the Robrionian Trench.”
You can read the full excerpt here, and watch Pluribus on Apple TV. [end-mark]
