I'm reading the Mission of Honor ARC now, and wishing I had an
annotatable copy -- the small errors I can pass by, but the error in
chapter 38 really pinged my radar.

"The mesan Alignment had established the first colony on Gamma almost
two hundred T-centuries ago,"...

Really? 200 centuries? 20,000 years?

Definitely needs another pass with the fine-tooth red pen.

Which is why its an ARC not the final version which will get at least
one more editing pass for things like that and quite possibly larger
changes made.

Which is why I now regret not suggesting better names then A(h)mbien
and Dorko for characters in a recent ARC.
