I love Karen Traviss.  I would kill for Karen Traviss…. Please ask me to kill for you, Karen…  In all seriousness, I adore this woman more then I can express through words.  When some of my brothers and sisters in arms got back from San Diego Comic Con, TK-2035 handed me a couple things from Karen.  Both of which are cooler than anything you have, trust me.  First, she gave me a signed ”Advance Uncorrected Proof” copy of her upcming book, “Matriarch” which is the fourth book in the “City of Pearl” series she writes, and writes well. Inside of which she wrote “Who needs a a lightsaber when you’ve got a big damned Duece!”.  Truer words never spoken, Kiddies.

The second, and most unexpected item was one of the posters for sale at San Diego Comic Con, which shows all the different Clone Commanders. Part one of “Holy Crap, that’s cool!” is as follows; Karen preordered it specifically for me out of her own pocket.  Part two is the fact that signed it as well for me, and it says “TD-0013, We’ll always have Order 66″.

Yes Karen, we’ll always have Order 66, and whatever else you want, my Trooper Goddess.

I am forever yours to command.

And I mean that in the most serious, “I’m not a stalker-whacko” sort of way.
