Title: Trojan Odyssey errors
Description: I found two story errors in story

<_< In the Trojan Odyssey I found these two errors that go back through all the books story lines. First it was said that Dirk first met Summer in the Pacific Vortex while talking to Admiral Sandeckers daughter. First is has never been mentioned that Admiral Sandecker in any of the books that he had kids, and two it was Admiral Hunters daughter. The other error is a technical one. It could be one and it could not. In the end when Dirk and Loren get married her parents and siblings came to it. Loren's father is dead, he died in Vixen O3. So is that an error or did her mom remarry? I was just wondering if anyone else ever saw these things.

w: Welcome reecer!
th: Excellent points, I think most people noticed them...I guess it's just more of those things that we'll never know about!
Maybe Clive needs a good proof-reader to notice these inconsistencies kel:

My former English teacher would say: You did your homework very well. He would love it for such good exceptions.

At the end of Vahalla Rising he meets his kids for the 1st time. He never knew till then that they existed. para:

Heres another one from the same book
Page 72 Dirk Jr and Summer are talking about what she found in the underwater chamber.
Quote:
"This was built by a different culture,a lost and unknown civilization".
"Not another Atlantis myth,"Summer said sarcastically.
"No,Dad and Al put that to rest in the Antarctic several years ago"
Skip forward to page 310. Sandecker says this
"The hype-mongers will have a field day claiming that Atlantis has been found"
"Not Atlantis."Chisholm shook his head and smiled."I tossed that one in the air for years.My own opinion is that Plato wrote a fictitious account of the disaster using the eruption of Santorini in sixteen fifty B.C as background material."
"You don't think Atlantis was in the Carribean?" said Summer somewhat facetiously.........
Chisholm did not look amused.........

Another, when Dirk Jr and Summer are in the Pisces and the Sea Sprite has to leave them because the hurricane is on the way and they don't have time to decompress.
Then later they are rescued by without time to decompress and conveniently there is a hyperbaric chamber aboard the Sea Sprite then. They could have used it the first time but would not have been near as dramatic?

Everyone knows Loren Smith has "violet" eyes. This is consistent even in
Trojan Odyssey (15).
But her eye changes to gray :blink: in Trojan Odyssey (48). w:

Is it just me or is Black Wind fraught with typos and mistakes? Seemed like there were at least 4 times when I shook my head and said "no Clive, you mean ____, not _____."
