"PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES"
(by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith)
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.
What's this about? Just what it sounds like. Mr. Grahame-Smith has reworked the classic "Pride and Prejudice" into classic zombie mayhem. Pemberly is under attack by zombies and Mr. Bennett is trying to keep his family alive. Can Elizabeth vanquish the spawn of Satan and still win Mr. Darcy?
This book is a RIOT. It's beautifully written and masterfully blends a comedy of manners with zombie gore. A MUST READ for those with a twisted sense of fun :)
"DAEMON"
(by Daniel Suarez)
I've just started this (courtesy of The Sword and Laser podcast - www.swordandlaser.com) and it's quite a tech-manifesto.
Here's the Amazon review: "Originally self-published, Suarez's riveting debut would be a perfect gift for a favorite computer geek or anyone who appreciates thrills, chills and cyber suspense. Gaming genius Matthew Sobol, the 34-year-old head of CyberStorm Entertainment, has just died of brain cancer, but death doesn't stop him from initiating an all-out Internet war against humanity. Sobol's weapon is a daemon, a kind of computer process that not only has taken over many of the world's computer systems but also enlists the help of superintelligent human henchmen willing to carry out his diabolical plan."
Happy Spring!
