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!

I'm right with you on "she would have gotten better." That and the entire passage about India. And the breaking news reports near the end.

Personally, one of my favorite lines was the crack about getting cited for standing too close to a goat..... (eta: found it, page 45. Oh, Mahir.)
I loved the spontaneous zombies line.

I didn't like "she would have gotten better" line. I liked the 2 in 10,000 figure and that there really was no way to have known she would. It's sort of a "Ick -- wait, let's see if that's really what's going on, because -- Ah. Right. Yeah, that makes so much more sense, because --" followed by several pieces clicking into place about why it couldn't possibly be as simple as reservoir condition = cure.

Mind, I don't blame Kelly for saying it. She's very bravely putting the card most likely to make someone shoot her on the table.

I liked her line "Right. Because he obviously shot me with a sedative or something."
