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!

Picked DEADLINE up yesterday, read it (eee! Yay!), commenced with squee. Shaun and George's relationship remains pretty much my favorite part of these books (and that I can say this after she's dead is awesome), though I am always gleeful over disease-related geekery. I definitely sobbed at "She would have gotten better" and Shaun's subsequent psychotic episode, and laughed hysterically at "There's no way our building is generating spontaneous zombies."

Anybody else have favorite lines? I wish I'd been jotting them down, with page numbers, as I read.

"If I ever find out who fired that needle, their official cause of death is going to be Shaun Mason"

And (from memory; have already handed my copy over to Dale) "Shaun will kill you, but I will make you pay . . . I'm a journalist."

I also liked (paraphrasing) the one about the old lady not being able to hear them on the roof even if they set off land mines up there - which to be fair they only did once and that was for quality control purposes...

Yes. LAND MINES.
