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!

So I spent basically every waking moment for the two days following the release with the book glued to my hand, consciously not turning any pages further than the ones I was reading (how I spoiled myself for Buffy and George during Feed) and, um. Wow. Wow.

(I was actually more surprised that no one died after Kelly (I did not like anyone's chances) than I was that you unkilled George. (You unkilled George! George is undead! The good kind of undead! [sortof.]))


I'm more surprised that no one here has mentioned that Maggie's parents are both richer than god and stand to lose a hell of a lot if KA goes away, or if people start developing natural immunity to it, what with (nearly?) all their proverbial golden eggs in the zombie testing and containment basket. And that they come with the added bonus of a direct connection to Our Heroes that could be very hurty.

Maggie's parents are obscenely rich, and own more than just test unit production. They could actually make more money if restraints replaced bullets.

Yeah, given how they adapted to the Rising, I'm not actually worried about them on account of the profit motive.

I am making no other assumptions.
