 		Re: More Possible Mistakes in Book 3

On page 120, I think there are two discrepancies/mistakes.

The first one is:

Quote:
"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs Kabra," Dan said, looking closely at the parchment.


To my knowledge, Natalie is not married so it should be Miss Kabra, not Mrs.

Second one:

Quote:
He (Dan) placed the map gently on the ground and pulled a small Swiss Army knife from his pocket.


I was wondering where Dan got the Swiss Army knife when its not mentioned in any of the books.


For the first: Dan is being sarcastic -- It's Ian and Amy he is calling Mr and Mrs. Kabra

For the second: We know he lost his backpack, but we don't know if he had anything in his pockets, though why he didn't have the picture of his parents in his pocket -- who knows.

Lost Information / Mistakes:

Dan Cahill -- Top Secret -- There are no surveillance pictures like before. I think they messed up when they listed Beacon Hill as a place Dan has been. I think the books will send us back to Boston and Beacon Hill in Book 10.

The revamped Mission 0 lists Christopher Columbus as a Tomas. That makes him the earliest famous Cahill on record, born in 1451

However, Gideon's house burnt down in 1507, while Columbus died in 1506.

Either it's a discrepancy, or Columbus befriended Thomas Cahill before the fire.

The page has been updated. Columbus is no longer a Cahill (at least he isn't documented on that page).
I'm sure if he had been a Cahill, he would have made a great Tomas.
Don't feel bad, Tomas agents. You still have the two earliest documented Cahills : Philip II of Spain & Toyotomi Hideyoshi

 		The typewritten letter from Churchill on page 102 of The Viper's Nest is dated 1900, but uses a proportional font.

Proportional font was common for typesetting books and newspapers, but I'm pretty sure that typewriters didn't start using proportional font until the 1960's. (IBM Selectric for one)

Im not gonna even pretend to understand that, but I think we can forgive them for things like that, because i really doubt there onna look up 'fonts for 1900'

Well, and I may be stupid here, someone might have created the font and not have told anyone. (I told, I might be crazy)

I'm completely confused about what this means.

 		Page 112 of Vespers Rising.
"Releasing the shuttlecock, he placed his finger on the trigger"
Shuttlecock is the name of the birdie you hit in badminton.
I think they meant wheellock, a mechanism for firing a firearm.
