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!

I trust you on this, but I have to say that even from the very beginning with Doc's clone, I was wondering about that.

Is this something that has to wait until Blackout, or can you reveal the tech ahead of time?

The only tech I can really explain is the force-grow, which essentially depends on some very complicated hormone and radiation therapy. Again, we're starting to play around with this sort of thing, but we're somewhat thwarted by the fact that cells go cancerous when exposed to the wrong kind of radiation. These people don't have that problem, and had very good reason to solve the force-grow issues, since they absolutely needed cloned human organs as quickly as possible.
