DEADLINE open thread. Have a party.

To celebrate the release of Deadline [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy], here. Have an open thread to discuss the book.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned.

You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence. I will probably answer a great many comments. I may not answer all of them.

Have fun!

Having now read the book, I'm wondering if there's a mechanism-of-transference issue in play...

I would really like to know how the CDC has accomplished not only force-grown clones but neural recording and transfer, dammit.

Contagious immunity has been documented before, usually with the children or romantic partners of people with post-polio syndrome.

Until Shaun actually tested clean, I was convinced that he was going to die, and you'd given us the way he might have been able to survive due to having been long-term fluid-bonded with a person with retinal KA as a false hope, to make the dashing of it even more painful. So I actually did not cry, because I was going to cry after he died. And then he didn't.

Hell, when I started the book I figured there were 50/50 odds of Shaun biting it by the end, and then I wondered who else would take over as narrator...

Yes, part three told by Maggie or Mahir would have been...anticlimactic.

I've been wondering about that.

But... is it the case here? (No, I'm not asking. You're gonna tell us when you tell us.)
