By request, I wanted to open up a thread for people to discuss my first book, Free Radical, which is still available for free<\/a>. (Bottom of page.) There’s also a print version available at cost. You can also read the venerable webpage version<\/a> that started it all. <\/p>\n

So: Discuss the events of the book, the themes, the characters, the technology, or whatever else interests you. Feel free to ask questions if you like, although you might be surprised at how little I know beyond what’s already on the page. <\/p>\n

This thread is intended for people who have finished the book, and the entire thread should be considered spoilers. No need to use spoiler tags.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
