BLACKOUT open thread!

To celebrate the release of Blackout, 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. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.)

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, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.

Have fun!

This might turn out to be me worrying over nothing, but it is something I need to know before reading Blackout.

Incest is just something I can't read, it makes my skin crawl. I know George and Shaun aren't biologically related but they were raised as siblings so it amounts to the same thing in my mind.

In Deadline I managed to happily overlook things that were apparently obvious to others, but someone told me that they'd heard (I know, it's all very third hand, I'm sorry) that things would be more explicit in Blackout.

So, could someone who's read the book please tell me if this is the case? I'm not looking for spoilers, just some idea if I'm actually going to be able to read this.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

It is made very, very clear that they love each other and are each the center of the other's world.

The only explicit thing shown is kissing.

Hope this helps.
