Daniel Suarez, KILL DECISION (Dutton, Hardcover, $26.95) - Saturday, August 25th at 3:00 pm - From the publisher: "From the New York Times Bestselling author of DAEMON and FREEDOM (TM), comes a terrifying, breathtaking, and all-too-possible vision of the world's near future.  In his new novel, KILL DECISION, Daniel Suarez turns to the timely and increasingly important topic of combat drones.  The book tells the story of myrmecologist Linda McKinney --a scientist studying weaver ants -- who is forced to team up with a Special Ops soldier after her research is stolen and used by unknown forces to power autonomous swarming weapons.  Suarez's well-researched thrillers are based on real science and technology, and in KILL DECISION he takes the very real implications of automated war to its next logical step." Join us to meet this talented author and check out his thrilling new novel!
