We’ve all walked out of movies and imagined what our hero might do next. But Dan Hanks didn’t just do that after seeing Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. He turned his idea into a reality — sort of — by reconfiguring it into a novel, and with a different hero, he calls Captain Moxley And The Embers Of The Empire (paperback, Kindle). In the following email interview, Hanks discusses what else inspired and influenced this epic adventure story, as well as who he’d like to see play the good captain if this novel ever gets turned into a movie.
