CHIMERA open thread!

To celebrate the release of Chimera, here. Have an open thread to discuss the book. Because nothing says "Thanksgiving" like "tapeworms." Judging by the comments I'm seeing, some of you have had time, and I'd really, really rather book discussion (sometimes including spoilers) didn't crop up on other posts.

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.) I will be DELETING all comments containing spoilers which have been left on other posts. No one gets to spoil people here without a label.

You can also start a 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, and try not to bleed on the carpet.

So I haven't finished the book yet, but I just want to say... you have a character named Batya! Seeing that name completely threw me out of the story, and even more so when I read the line about Batya wearing a snood and carrying a gun.

And thus I realized that yes, us Jews really *are* underrepresented in SF/F stories. I guess I just got used to people like me not existing in my favorite genre to the point where I stopped noticing our absence a long time ago.

So, thanks for doing something to help change that. :)

(Also, the image of batyatoon as a villain's gun-toting sidekick is impressively disturbing.)

She's a hollowed-out meat car, but she was observant when she was a human!

Seriously, though, you're welcome. I just want all my friends to see themselves in fiction.
