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!

...You know what gets me about that frequency? It's exactly the frequency of my own chronic illness, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. So I was possibly less freaked out than I should've been. *g*

I'd say, don't get too freaked out about that. There are often such coincidences in statistical frequency, usually either as artifacts of the information collection mechanism or of the analysis tool, but sometimes because of an underlying truth about the mechanism. An awful lot of recessive traits, for example, seem to occur in 12.5% (+/- 2.5%) of a given population.

Mm. Though the type of EDS that I have is actually autosomal dominant, a 50/50 split if you have an affected parent (or two).
