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!

So, I finished Blackout a little before WorldCon (cuz Mythopoeic Season and then Hugo Season and then GenCon) (and I am sad that the titles of books 2 and 3 had to be swapped, because they were so appropriate where they were, which means I keep calling things by the wrong names, except that they're really the right names). mneme finished Deadline about the time I finished Blackout, so of course he started reading Blackout.

Monday evening -- well, technically, Tuesday, by then -- he was about a hundred or so pages from the end when we were at the last running WorldCon party. We were smofing and finding that we had more common ground with a fan named Joe (turns out he wanted to save the Semiprozine, and his objection to something we supported was based on a very understandable misunderstanding). He spotted Blackout.

Joe: Is this yours?

Us: Yep.

Joe: Oh, so -- Hey, squirrel! (makes pretend grab for book after this Cunning Distraction)
