I can't believe they didn't have her shoot, because she is in the Slingshot Air Defense Reserve.

The biggest surprise for me is that the alien invaders turned out to be Daft Punk.

I'm not sure why I'm even discussing this issue with you, given that you've offered no evidence whatsoever that anyone else is writing GRRM's books for him, but I'll add two more things that make your assertion unlikely:

Poor Tom—he might have sealed the deal if only he'd mentioned DJ Roomba!
