| Page 105: | "Hel was a black eight ball of a world silver-chased by ice lying in the canyons of its wrinkled carcass." |
| Missing hyphen: S/B "eight-ball". |
| Page 114: | "The scientists had scrounged around and found a few Hawking Holes left over from the Big Bang, had pulled a few mega-trillion quarks out of a linear accelerator which circumscribed Hel itself, had stacked them in orbital shells around the mini-singularities, and had installed these 'cores' in a delivery system." |
| Terminology: S/B "an accelerator" or "a cyclotron" (archaic term). Has Cook's mind gone SLAC on us? (I couldn't resist; I used to drive through the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center every day. Its heart is a ruler-straight tunnel two miles long running under Interstate Highway 280 in Palo Alto, California.) |
| Page 115: | "The passageways were a crawl with Marines." |
| Missing hyphen: S/B "a-crawl". |
| Page 189: | "It was a riot with a roughly Permian level of life." |
| Missing hyphen: S/B "a-riot". |
