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 don't think George is smarter than Shaun. He just doesn't parse information the same way she did.

Because all of the CrazyBrainRoommate!Georgia dialogue was coming out of Shaun's backbrain.

I like to thnk that he's just compartmentalized things so much that brain-Georgia is in effect the manifestation of the "hunches" that we all have, while out subconscious is working on stuff we're not conscious of. Sean's not stupid, but he thinks in very different ways - but he spent so long with George that the "analytical" part of his brain just sounds an awful lot like her. Plus, he's nuts.

"Plus, he's nuts" is a good reason for most of what Shaun does, really.

Well... I dunno, it sounds at least partially ghost-y to me. I know Mira Grant isn't going to be doing ghosts in a science series, but it seemed to me like this went beyond Shaun making up what Georgia would do in her head.

Also, I am doing a research project on daemons and other than the part where George existed as a real person before she died, this is pretty much how they operate. Like a separate intelligence in your head that isn't your usual daily consciousness, the part that knows the answers already.
