In the early chapters of the book, the police force is twice referred to as "Polis". At one time I'd have thought of it as sloppy proof reading and tut-tutted at the author, now I know what the real reason is and I look a bit more kindly at the author at least!!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for illuminating some of the behind-the-scenes stuff of publishing...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201035340379387456.post-72447557152776239202009-03-03T19:43:00.000-08:002009-03-03T19:43:00.000-08:00Hi Stephen I was the reader who pulled you on the ...Hi Stephen <BR/><BR/>I was the reader who pulled you on the typos and to be honest its not just your work have found similar errors in Chris Ryan books and others. Thanks for the explanation as ever it seems the culprit is 'penny pinching' and just a lack in pride of work. Please give'em a kick up the butt at Hodder. Just finished 'Live Fire' and enjoyed it immensely so exciting at the end and a nice twist for Mickey to come good. I feel sad though also, what am I going to do tomorrow evening now there is no more Spider. :-(<BR/>Great stuff keep it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201035340379387456.post-91797434445057306552009-02-24T11:01:00.000-08:002009-02-24T11:01:00.000-08:00To be honest Stephen, when reading your books i ca...To be honest Stephen, when reading your books i cannot wait to turn the pages, i have to read as fast as i can as the stories unravels i cannot see any mistakes!!<BR/>Keep the books comming totally blinding reading........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201035340379387456.post-15407640810702151962009-02-23T05:50:00.000-08:002009-02-23T05:50:00.000-08:00I meant proofreading, of course, not proofreadng. ...I meant proofreading, of course, not proofreadng.
