Science Fiction Novel Mentions Fallen Album

[EvenInDeath46]

I found this on EvTheads posted by the member *~DeathDealer~* and thought that it was interesting:

So I found an interesting thing on the website. I apologize if this has already been mentioned and/or answered but while I was taking the fan quiz that Yahoo! Music offers, the last question stumped me and, actually, intrigued me:

"Which science fiction novel mention's Evanescence's album Fallen twice?"
1. Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley
2. Halting State by Charles Stross
3. Cally's War by John Ringo
4. Confessor (Sword Of Truth) by Terry Goodkind

Well, I had no idea but the answer was #3. I wonder if anybody else found this as shocking as I did. I wonder how the author mentioned Evanescence in his novel. I might have to go look at the book just to find it lol

Here are the two excerpts from the novel Cally's War:

Excerpt from page 169:

At a traffic light [Cally] popped the cube with her music collection into the sound console and had it list the catalog. Hrms. Evanescence. Fallen. Good album. I still wonder how the first landings and adjusting to Urb life influenced her writing. Guess we'll never really know. She must have struck a chord with every shell-shocked teen in the country that year. The light changed and she pulled away to the tense opening strains of "Going Under."

Excerpt from pages 377-378:

The ethereal opening strains of the next song of [Cally's] cube pierced him with an oddly sweet sadness for a few moments before the hot, driving rhythm kicked in to add to the intensity of what she was doing to him. He didn't try to remember the name of the band or the song, but it came to him anyway. It was a war-time band called Evanescence, the song, "Bring Me to Life," and it couldn't possibly fit their situation, but somehow he knew the music was deeply important to her. The vibrance of the music bled onto every sensation, making it more alive - the scent of her, her hands and mouth on him. Her beautiful, pale skin, flushed with skin and luminous with a light sheen of sweat. Even the drab gray of the office walls seemed more intensely real. The music was singing in their bones, and he wondered what in the hell was happening to him. Sex had never been like this.

Raunchy!
