I listened to an interview with the author (Slice of SciFi #231) where he states that the TV show and the book are not exactly the same. The cause of the flashforward in the TV show will not be the same as the book.

I'm holding out hope that by the time we get to April 29th in the show we'll have an explanation that fills the above "big apparent plothole."

Is time in the show going to be following along with real time in the real world? Meaning, will April 29, 2010 in the show take place on April 29, 2010 for us? It is a Thursday. If they do, then that means we'll have several weeks of hiatus (hiatuses? hiati?) to endure between now and then. But we'll also get to see the actual flashforward events this season.
