*The child to be kidnapped is initially wrongly described as Brion Marik (II)'s seven-year-old son Thomas. However, Brion Marik had no son named Thomas. Instead, it is later established that the child in question is Brion Marik's grandson [[Tomas Marik]], born in [[2598]] to Brion's son [[Quentin Marik]].

*Dekobra's flagship, the ''Vlad Tepes'', is initially introduced on p. 81 as a ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer, which is impossible as this class first entered service in [[2662]]. In a later chapter on p. 177, it is described as a ''[[Vincent]] Mark XXV'' corvette instead, and the vessel's length is given as "over 400 meters" (accurate for a 402 meter ''Vincent'').

*The refurbished ''Clint'' featuring in the story is problematic for several reasons. It is explicitly described as a CLNT-1-2R, but even this earliest model was only introduced in [[2607]] according to the ''[[Master Unit List]]'', i.e. three years after the events described. The 1-2R series normally has an [[AC/10]] barrel instead of a right hand, plus a single medium laser, and is not equipped with [[jump jet]]s. However, in the novel the 'Mech uses jump jets and twin Magna medium lasers which are mounted on the right arm, as well as a fully modeled right hand. This could be taken to mean the 'Mech was customized when it was hand-built (possible given that the ''Mech Friends'' knew all along that they had no ammunition for the autocannon), though the ''Clint'' depicted on the book cover features a regular barrel arm and no hand. Further, the ''Mech Friends'' complain about having no ammunition for the missile launcher despite no known ''Clint'' model mounting a missile launcher of any kind.
