Congratulations to Dayuhan 13, and thanks to all those who participated. The correct answer that I was looking for was Robert Jordan, from For Whom the Bell Tolls. Although, I gotta say tho, Torz would have won if it hadn't been there.
Thanks for the fun. Dayuhan shoot me an email with your shipping information and I'll get those right off to you.

edited to add: scratch that, Dayuhan I just sent you an email, just reply with your shipping info.

I guess being a nerdish bookworm finally reaped some rewards!

Lagarto,
Your generosity is well appreciated! Thanks for the opportunity! (I promised myself I wouldn't cry if I won! :sniffle)

Hey EZ,
I believe we've emailed once before. We should get together sometime and talk diving and knives. I will turn my email function back on, give me a shout if you're interested, or just drop by the Maritime Studies Department and ask for Sam. Someone should know where to track me down. Dayuhan, I have the package all made up, just waiting on your shipping info. Hopefully I'll send it out tomorrow and you should get it by the end of the week.

Well, considering Robert Jordan and Kokkor Hekkus were both Hormagaunts conducting one-man crime waves beyond the Gaean Reach, it's easy to see how I got the characters confused.
