Three days of darkness as in biblical prophecy with demons walking the Earth and it's roughly 2019. The main character is a war vet with PTSD.
Robinson has something called The Infinite Universe. Three sets of three books that are related to each other in the set but without an order. A fourth book in each set that ties all three together and then a final book that ties all three sets together. Each of the sets has some sort of unifying mystery or twist. Aliens, gods, demons, etc. I'm on #4 of the first set of 9. They vary from really great to just good and enjoyable. I've not run into a bad one yet.

- I am a part owner of a small business as of this year. I've worked for the company for 18 years.
- I have too many hobbies. Everything seems to interest me and I try my hand at a lot of things. Recently been using a low cost laser etcher but have tried painting, drawing, photography, carpentry, video games, programming, 3D modelling and printing, etc.
- My username came about as a result of a video game company becoming popular and having to abandon it for something else. I used to go by "Blizzard" in 1994-1996 but with Diablo being a hit in 1996 I decided that I wanted something else. I was reading The Wheel of Time and thought "Asmodean" sounded neat but I didn't want to duplicate it so I added an R in there to make it my own.

- Colourblind - Well technically a red-green protanomaly.
- I like to tinker with homelab stuff and have a way too expensive NAS running on a Ryzen 3700X using Proxmox.
Dune is easily one of my top 10 books. I enjoyed Dune Messiah and Children of Dune but really struggled with God Emperor and gave up half way into Heretics. I tried reading a summary and skipping to Chapterhouse but I still didn't enjoy it. I decided that in my mind, Dune is a trilogy.
