I await March 15 and 16, 2006, with trepidation. (No, I haven't read that far ahead, but I sneak-peeked at enough Dragon's Fury passages to know that's your -- our? -- D-day.)
That date is not a D-Day...it's more like a terribly magnified Pearl Harbor Day. D-Day type things don't occur in the books for years afterward...maybe 2010 or 2011.
