 John Barnes: Mother of Storms
This usually irritates me, but I didn't mind it here, and their interactions are pwell-handled and informative, although occasionally in moving them about the author's manipulations are a bit blatant.
I have this vision of an editor reading the first draft and saying, "Great book, John, but it really needs more sex and violence!" There's a subplot concerning full-sensory "snuff films" that contributes very little to the book, except to kick off a spate of assassinations that I could also have done without.
I have yet to read a John Barnes book that I don't like, and Mother of Storms didn't disappoint me. It's a very ambitious book, but Barnes manages to handle the large cast of characters, the proverbially dull subject of the weather, and the nigh-destruction of civilization as we know it with humor and flair.

 Interview with John Barnes, Deutsche Bank Securities: TWST
Barnes: C.H. Robinson fits very well with our call on the asset-intensive truckload carriers, all of which we’ve been recommending for a period of time now.
One of the key things in the truckload sector has been the exodus of capacity you’ve seen in the last three years, and when the economy begins to rebound, there will be a capacity crunch.
Just because we’re not asset-intensive doesn’t mean we don’t service our customer.” I really think that Robinson stands to benefit the most from the exodus of capacity over the last couple of years, just given the scale that they possess in the industry.
