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 wonder how much of the early Shaun and Georgia years were attempts to force healing by Mister and Missus Mason -- to pretend at being loving, not-messed-up parents in hopes that it would actually happen -- before gradually stopping to give a damn, especially after Georgia and Shaun caught on.

Granted, adopting two babies as Replacement Goldfish in hopes that it will somehow fix the problems you developed when you had to shoot your preschooler because you didn't know the neighbor's dogs were carriers is not the best idea, but it's something real people might do.

Or an attempt at reparations -- "look, we fucked up with our first kid, but at least we can pick out some kids and give them the childhood we should have been able to give him. It's our goddamn duty. We can afford to, we need to (and it wouldn't be a bad PR move either)."
