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!

At the same time, or several days/weeks later? Rain bands from hurricanes can travel a very great distance, but slowly. They're really fun to watch on weather maps, actually.

At the same time.

When it was slamming NOLA, it also was slamming 3 other states, (TX, MS, AL) and the outlying bands were hitting states as far west as Arizona, and as far north as Ohio, as I recall.

So I would not call the storm in DEADLINE that far out of true for a really bad storm.

Huh! I didn't realize they could get that big at all.

I seem to recall hearing on the news, an anchor speaking in a hushed tone of combined awe and boggle that Hurricane Katrina, at its largest, was larger than the state of Texas.
