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 actually finished the book a few days ago and I've been re-reading it. I admit I didn't pick up on the Georgia/Shaun relationship either but I think I also had it in my head they were blood related until I read the lines talking about adoption in DEADLINE.

I felt like there was a lot of repetitive travel in this book. I know there wasn't but it felt like Shaun basically kept driving between a CDC campus and Maggie's multiple times. I know we were learning more and more about the conspiracy with each stop but it felt like less progress compared to FEED where the campaign trail took us to new places each time.

Great job on making me continue to miss Buffy. I don't mean that sarcastically. I miss her even more now that I know a version of George now exists, and I'm really glad we got to see more of Mahir. Maggie seems an interesting character. And crazy Shaun is crazy motif was excellent and entertaining the entire time. I do really like Dr. Abbey. She very much had a distinctive style and I wanted to know way more about her lab and what she was doing. I'm happy to hear that'll be in BLACKOUT.

Anyway really looking forward to BLACKOUT. I really want to know what Rick is doing and what the CDC, or whoever cloned her, thinks they're going to do with Georgia.

I also felt like there was a lot of repetitive travel in this book. It was just sort of unavoidable, you know? It made me grumpy. I soldiered through.
