I decided to take tonight off from writing due to fatigue so I was screwing around on my Build slate PC and found a news story that caught my attention in one of the apps.  It appears that the US Navy is working on drone technology that promises a \u201cpilotless future<\/a>\u201d:<\/p>\n

\"Drone\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHoly crap!\u201d I thought.  I\u2019ve been reading about this stuff in Daniel Suarez\u2019s new book, Kill Decision. I raved about his past two books, Daemon<\/a> and Freedom \u2122<\/a>.  He manages to do something that we techies think is impossible; he writes believable<\/em> tech thrillers.  There is no clicking on magical Pi symbols, there is no Matrix (well \u2026 there is \u2026 sort of . in those two books).<\/p>\n

Several months ago the the new book, Kill Decision<\/a>, appeared on Amazon as a pre-order.  I clicked, and a few weeks ago I got an email to say that it was downloaded to my Kindle \u2013 I love that!<\/p>\n

Kill Decision isn\u2019t a sequel to the other two books. It\u2019s a whole new thread, in a world where drones are being used by the enemy.  I\u2019ll say no more, but if you\u2019ve read the previous books then you know there will be tech, it will be believable, and the plot will be interesting.  <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m reading it at night when I go to bed, and I\u2019m about 60% of the way through, enjoying it greatly.  I wasn\u2019t going to mention it until I\u2019d finished, but I was watching Windows Weekly and Paul Thurrott mentioned that he was enjoying reading it on his vacation.<\/p>\n

Read this book, and then go back and read about the US Navy X-47B.  Sca-ary!<\/p>\n
