Finished. Now I have to wait on the sequel. I'm going to read "To Your Scattered Bodies Go" now.

Almost through with the book and still can't figure out which redshirt Chris is. I've narrowed the suspects down to three and I'm leaning toward one of them.
one can be a Democrat, or one can choose to be an American.

Uhh... then you weren't paying very close attention, given his name is Chris Byrne, and his radio callsign is Anarchangel. He shows up in chapter 12
DOH (facepalm). Was reading too fast and kind of skimmed the minor characters. But shame on you Chris, should have made that a spoiler alert. That being said, I just finished and am also waiting for the next one.

Uhhh, spoiler about what? When he dies? Because being a redshirt does imply a rather low survival rate (as in 0%). And since Chris said he was a redshirt in the OP...
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

So far, the bad guys seem good and the good guys seem bad.

:?

It's seriously different because it's like reading two different novels at the same time, or one novel from two different perspectives. It's interesting.

He's only been talking about getting redshirted in Larry's book for months now... When you see him show up, you know he's not going to be there at the end...
