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.

Typo nitpick: All the pre-Rising stories have talked about Dr Ian Matras, but in Deadline he became William Matras and Ian Matras was his son. Just curious on which is correct? (The 2032 also through me for a small loop, but I see that's been covered already)
I think even more than the "woulda got better" I am most disappointed to realize that everything Dr Wynne did in Feed was a lie.
Of course he sent the CDC team to pick them up rather than just sterilizing them after George called in when they were supposed to be dead - they were supposed to be dead and he had to know what they knew. Maybe he found them likeable and that folksie easiness wasn't total crap, but ouch.
Similarly, listening in on Shaun's confrontation with Tate at the very end presumably again had more to do with making sure that everyone was on script. No doubt had Shaun or Alaric or Mahir broken off the script that the CDC had set up with Tate soliloquizing and falling w/o implicating the CDC, than some sort of tragic event would ahve occurred involving the sterilization of the entire area. What would a presidential candidate matter in those terms?

And got it in one on why Wynne listened in at the end. Tate needed to stay on script, or the area would have been sterilized like whoa.
