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!

Okay, four pages and days later, my question:

For a voice in Shaun's head, George sure as hell knew a lot more about everything than Shaun could have possibly known. If she's not a ghost (and yeah, I know in Mira Grantland ghosts can't exist what with the science and all), then how does she know? What IS she? 'Cause I think her advice goes way beyond just some part of Shaun's head picking up on what he's too oblivious to notice. During my immediate reread (and I normally don't do that with series) I'm gonna go flag those bits, but I definitely got the feeling that that was an external force rather than just a version of George he made up in his head.

I did love Ghostly George, though. Didn't want to see her gone from the series. AND NOW SHE'S NOT. Go clone! I wonder what happens when Clone meets Ghost?

Page 349-350, Shaun and Georgia are somewhat arguing, because George has reminded Shaun she's a figment of his imagination, and he's asked her to quit reminding him of that.

Page 170:
"I love how you ignore the inherent impossibility of me telling you something you didn't already know."

I am seriously wondering. Because that is just beyond imagination to me.

If I'm understanding right, George is sensibly pointing out that it's impossible for her to tell him something he didn't already know, and that if he's surprised to hear it from Brain!George, it's simply a matter of him not realizing he knew it, and his subconscious routing it through her, because if she were still alive, that's how he would've heard it.

At least, so it seems to me.

You know more than you think you do. Everyone does. It's just a matter of what you consciously remember.
