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!

Science question: What happened to HIV when it met KA? Is AIDS no longer an issue in the post rising world?

(Hope I didn't miss it somewhere in the two books)

Considering HIV ruins the immune system?

It could go a number of ways:

KA kicks the ass of HIV and every opportunistic infection on board, leaving the person healthy and able to develop a normal immune system

KA kicks the ass of the opportunistic infections, but the person is so weak that the battle kills them and they Rise.

KA kicks the ass of the opportunistic infections and then it and HIV are at a permanent stalemate.


I don't think you missed it in the two books. It's a gooooooood question.
