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!

While reading the tweets of a knit blogger, I have run across a zombie question that I can't quite figure out. If a pregnant woman amplifies, what happens to her baby?

My educated guess, because I'm still in fangirl mode:

Mom amplifies.

Baby is born alive, presuming baby is far enough along to survive outside the womb, that is.

Baby gets sick from having been exposed to KA but too little to amplify. Baby gets better.

Baby, having been exposed to live state KA gets a reservoir condition.

Baby grows up and hits 40 pound threshold and either amplifies, or grows up with the reservoir condition.

That's based on what was described in Deadline. Kelly said they had no way of making it work out each time that a kid exposed would grow up safe once hitting the 40 pound threshold.
