In his science fiction novel "RJ The Astronaut," a stranded astronaut has a conversation with what may or may not be God. But as author Jon Turney says in this exclusive interview, "RJ" is a sci-fi novel about faith, not a faith-based novel.

If I didn't know better, I'd think this crazy, weird story was inspired by one of the later games. Y'know, one of the good ones. And yes, it was that much fun.

Given that this is his only collection translated into English, I really wish it was "Complete" instead of "Collected." But I'll take what I can get.
