"How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea" open thread.

[seanan_mcguire]

I have been asked to create an open thread for discussion of "How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea." As it has been out for a week now (gasp! so soon!), this seems reasonable to me. So here you go: here is an open thread.

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.

As I said before, I would love to see the story of the woman they named the airfield after, and the other heroes of the Australian rising.

But after zombie kangaroos, I'm now wondering about Africa. India is abandoned by the living, but what about Africa? Zombie lions, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, water buffalo...

Okay, now I am picturing sub-Saharan Africa as equally abandoned, and patrolling guards protecting northern Africa.

You know, I once had a nightmare about a zombie uprising that involved a transport ship with an elephant on board that became a zombie elephant. That... was scary.

You know, I don't think I'd dare do Africa? I mean, I have some really solid ideas about what things are like there, but I don't want to be Yet Another White Western Author over-simplifying an entire continent.
