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!

2040 is the year she died. :)

I'll bet that is frustrating. A year to write it-20 or more people looking it over, checking for typos, consistentcy, feasability, and with in 5 minutes of release, 12 people are going "Ooh, ooh, Mr Kotter, Mr Kotter!"

But I read in Deadline that they put her death year at 2032! I'm confused now!

Originally Feed was set in 2032, but at some point the decision was made to push the events 8 years forward, giving George and Shaun no pre-Rising experience. The 2032 year of death in Deadline got missed, alas.

Yesterday's post has a Word From The Front Office. Typo. (These things happen.)
It's not like she changed the name of a minor character like another author did.
Think of it as the one flaw, left there so the virus doesn't hide inside, and Mutate! ;)

Ah, typo! I didn't even realize; I must have missed it in yesterday's post. And now I remember that settings and timelines were changed around. So now I feel silly. But I also feel better for the knowledge. :)

Pure typo. :(
