Rec Me Some Books
Many things:
I made a new icon, from Tiger Bright Studios lovely new cover for the ebook release of Wheel of the Infinite.
I forgot to mention yesterday, the cover of The Serpent Sea (January 2012, Night Shade Books) is going to have Jade on it this time.
Book Recs: We haven't done a book rec post in a while, so if you have a chance, post a comment with a rec of an SF/F or mystery novel you're reading now, or recently read, that you enjoyed, that you think other people would enjoy.

It reminds me of Michael Crichton's books in that it has technology taken to its logical worst-case scenario, and it's very heavy on the science but explained in a way that the average lay person can understand.
It's also not a linear narrative. Each chapter chronicles a significant event along the timeline of the war, from the first AI going rogue to the eventual denouement. Chapters focus on different people or groups of people, so you feel the global scope of the war and the story never loses momentum.
