* First Colony is a hastily assembled, sustainably defensible settlement in California, settled primarily by refugees which are brought there in an terrifyingly dangerous train convoy where most of the cars are swarmed by virals. Why not populate First Colony with refugees from the West Coast (things must not have entirely broken down yet, since there was enough organization to build the settlement), or build it on the East Coast? Or have multiple colonies? Surely it would have been easier than putting together a transcontinental rail journey under the circumstances.

** There *were* multiple colonies, but most of them succumbed before the events of the book. A reference is made to a Taos colony which got overrun, and it was mentioned in diary of Ida Jaxon that there were multiple trains from other cities going to different places (California and New Mexico are mentioned).
