Evan,
I just submitted Saturn's Children by Charles Stross. I didn't put a
hold for on it since you said you weren't sure you could get to it for a
while. But in case you've cleared your other books, I thought I'd let
you know, it's out there.
For anyone else interested, here is a synopsis...
Sometime in the twenty-third century, humanity went extinct, leaving
only androids behind to fulfill humanities dreams. Designed as a
concubine for a species that hasn't existed for two hundred years,
Freya Nakamichi-47 is a femmebot, one of the last of her kind still
functioning--accepts a job from a stranger to deliver a package from
Mercury to Mars. Unfortunately, she's just made herself a moving
target, expect action, adventure, intrigue, sex, and rolling on the
floor laughing fun.

I, for one, am happy to hear it. I've read the series twice and,
although I have some gripes with some of the later books, I loved it.

Wow, I'm impressed.
I've tried reading the wheel of time series a couple of times, and
I play out after about book four. It's a good series, but twelve
books?
Anyway, hats off to you Kellie for this momentus task. I really
hope some kind souls will help Kellie finish this series after all
the hard work getting through book eleven.
