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!

I was so swept away by the first book, I could not read the second for a VERY long time. The losses made me fear the whole tone would change. And how could I face the world you made without those wonderful characters in it? But when I finally took the plunge into book two, I could not be happier! And, oh! To point out that natural disasters don't care that you had a zombie outbreak and could still end your life just as quickly? Priceless! I can't remember the last zombie story I read that wrestled with that part of reality. So bravo! I am waiting on the third book for the paperback as I prefer all of a set to match. But I can not wait to see the aftermath!

By the way, was the orange shirt wearing doctor a nod to yourself? I don't think I caught her counting crows, but in a movie version I could certainly see you pulling a Stan Lee moment and playing her. Anyway, thank you for some awesome reading material. I have been giving Feed as gifts and addicting others. May you write many, many more tales!

Nope. Dr. Abbey is a full-on expy of my friend Brooke, who was also my medical consultant for this series. She's the only person I know who loves orange the way I do. She also has a thing for traffic cones.
