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!

Speaking as your friendly neighborhood Microsoft contractor, re: the location of the Seattle CDC:

.....bwhahahahahahahahaaaaa.

(And no, in its original state, it wouldn't have been particularly defensible in the case of a zombie incursion. I'm now picturing hordes of blue- and orange-badged zombies shambling through Redmond, and am more amused at this than I probably should be.)

I'm still kind of processing the book as a whole, since I read through it in a rush of OMGWHATHAPPENSTELLMENAO and, having figured that much out, am now doing a second, more leisurely read-through. But yes, I enjoyed it so, so much. I think I'm possibly the most tickled at the epilogue, really. I've got such a soft spot for Mahir -- glad things ended well for him. (annoying phone calls notwithstanding. ;)
Oh heavens. As a former Microsoftie, I imagined them parking near the recycling station off Bell-Red Road and sneaking to building 4. Not that the book indicated this, mind you - it's just what my brain supplied. ;)
That is awesome. :)
You may appreciate that I had to keep reminding myself that The Agora is not where The Monkey lives. ;)
Hee hee hee. :)

Poor Foxy. She's so very broken.

What a beautiful way of putting it.

But yeah, Foxy is probably my favourite new character of this book.
