Attention Fools.

This is your Captain speaking.

Captain Zoom, that is.

Though I am less than a year old, I can proudly say I have done absolutely no fucking work during any of that time.

Truly, I am the uberslacker.

But today that changes.

Today, I personally preside over the contest to determine who wins the final advance copy of THE MACHINERY OF LIGHT.

Beginners and casual readers:  I refer you to my litterbox.   This one’s for the fanatics only.   Email all answers to djwATautumnrain2110.com and I will judge you mercilessly.

Roll ‘em . . ..

#1:   Where does the fight between Sarmax and Carson take place?

#2:  Who wins?

#3:   What do people call Szilard behind his back?

#4:  What is the name of the Praetorian major who has custody of the Remoraz?

#5:  What drug are Spencer and Linehan dosed with in the final moments of MIRRORED HEAVENS?

Good luck.  I mean, may you gnash your teeth in a mouseless darkness forever.  Mwahahahahahahahahahhhahaahahahaa.. .

In celebration of Earth Day and all things involving the Earth’s destruction, Suvudu asked me to pen a post on possible superweapons that may or may not feature in the war to end all wars that goes down in THE MACHINERY OF LIGHT.

Check out what I have to say about the tech that could wreck your whole day here.

And tomorrow:  your last chance to win an advance copy of Book Three!!!

For two years I’ve been stalking him.

Through jungles and lost temples. Not to mention the darkest corridors of Balticon.

Finally, I caught him.

Or maybe it was the other way around.

At any rate, legendary podcaster Indiana Jim and I finally had the conversation we’ve been meaning to have our whole darn lives.  You can listen to his latest podcast here, where I ramble on and on (and on) about space weapons, the future of the Internet, and the dangers of not taking science fiction seriously.  Not to mention the imminent completion of the Autumn Rain trilogy . . .

And speaking of, an additional ARC of MACHINERY OF LIGHT is now in the hands of feline unit Captain Zoom.  He’ll commandeer this blog and give it away this Friday.  I will be helpless to resist.
