I think I saw a thread about this but I can't find it. I haven't finished this book so try not to spoil. Dr. Volescu asked Bean 'how are my sister and her husband doing?' I could have sworn he was related to Mr. Delphiki...not Mrs. Delphiki..... [Dont Know]

*laugh* Carl, I think that means you are right. Actually, I thought that before OSC penned you that little love letter. [Wink]

Oh, and welcome to Hatrack! [Smile]

So is the villain in the new book going to be named Carl Coreander? It's a shame to waste a name like that, and now you have motive...

That would be a good idea, to correct it in the paperback. I'll send a note to the editor.

At least this one is easier to fix. I don't remember the exact dialogue in question, but just switching around the words "brother" and "sister" along with the appropriate pronouns will probably set it right.

Hello. [Wave] This is my first post in Hatrack but I've been here a few times.

Thing is, I think I found ANOTHER error...maybe.

Okay, please try not to spoil cause I'm only on "Ch.18 Yerevan"

In Shadow Puppets (SPOILERS) Bean and Petra make 8 embryos.(By the way, how'd Petra get all those eggs so fast?) Volescu discards three of them.

In Shadow of the Giant , Bean and Petra are trying to find 8 children again b/c they thought Volescu tricked them. Weren't they watching him though? How could he?

Anyway, what I REALLY didn't understand was at the end of the chapter when Petra recovered Bella and already had baby Ender. She said "Seven to go." Was baby Ender's embryo created after the first 8 maybe? I always thought it was one of them... [Wall Bash]

Edit: On second thought this is a kinda old thread. I think I'll make a new one.

Welcome to the forums [Wave]

Petra took pills to ovulate/draw out more eggs

It doesn't really make a difference if it's an old thread, because it gets bumped to the top if someone posts anyway.
