| Page 32: | "This suit will take care of you and comfort you, provide for you, and even entertain you in everything from near absolute zero to a few thousand degrees above." |
| Impressive but hardly credible for a suit made largely of metal alloys holding sophisticated electronics — and hardly necessary given the planet it was intended for, where temperatures remained within a range that would not threaten unprotected humans. |
| Page 229: | "Tell me," Martime asked quietly during a lull in the sparring, "did you bury any of the staff?" Evan shook his head. "I was too busy trying to find out if anyone was still alive to worry about the dead." |
| Continuity (p. 54): "He had buried the remains of twenty scientists and technicians. The time had come to locate the other four." |
