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, so, if I understand correctly:

1. 2 in 10,000 with reservoir conditions will recover from infection.
2. Georgia happened to be one of the lucky ones.
3. But she really died. Shaun really shot her. All that.
4. Shaun's got contagious immunity, in all likelihood. If it isn't more complicated -- this possibility is going to have to occur to Dr. Abbey, who is not an idiot.
5. The Georgia who is alive is a clone, not the original. The original is the one who is dead.
6. Nevertheless, the clone seems to have all of the memories of the original and her personality, but not her retinal KA.
7. It still isn't June 2012. I can't read Blackout yet. Aaaaarrrggh!
8. Er, that was a scream of frustration, not a moan. I am not a zombie. Please do not shoot me.
1. That is the current "official" figure. Different conditions have different recovery rates.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
5. Yes.
6. As Dr. Abbey noted, she can't control what form of reservoir condition Joe develops. It stands to reason that the CDC can't, either.
7. Correct.
8. Okay.
