page 11 "Aztlan officially declared war against Amazonia in early 2072 when Amazonian agents were caught infiltrating an Aztlan research facility."
These events took place in November 2072 according to War!, pages 21 and 25-27, which would make it late 2072.

page 32 "MET200K and Tsunami actively hunted each other and continued their grudge match from earlier in the month."
It should read either MET2000 or MET2K.

page 43 "On the other hand, Hestaby was very public in trying to court the support of Scwartzkopf, Celedyr, and Mujaji for her cause"
It should read Schwarzkopf.

page 47 "BWhat Alamais is doing is on par with what Sirrurg did in Aztlan, and it is tantamount to genocide."
It should read either "But what..." or "What..."

page 61 "Although all the dragons assembled got at least a share of the two hoards, the ones that saw the most wealth coming from the hoards were the ones that we would claim as the “victors;” those that had the favor of the Loremaster These dragons were Lofwyr, Lung, and Arleesh.
There should be a dot between "Loremaster" and "These".

page 63 "How dare you interrupt an important meaning with such trivia."
It should probably read "meeting".

page 88 "Ghostwalker can keep him bottled up pretty much indefinitely before getting together whatever kangaroo court he believes in appropriate."
It should read "he believes is appropriate".

page 116 "At some point Douglas got a memo from Ares Arms CEO General Zachary Clausen, which told her to send the latest prototype to production. “We’ll fix the problem in manufacturing,” the message claimed. The best part of this sordid little exchange? Clausen never sent this message."
The general name was spelled "Zachary Klausen" in Corporate Download, page 39.

page 124 "In any case, the Aurelius dynasty has run its course." (after Nicholas Aurelius death)
Leonard Aurelius is still alive and considered a possible choice to replace his son on Ares Macrotechnology board, according to Storm Front, page 128. Nicholas also had two sisters: Sharon (Corporate Download, page 54) and Evelynn (Blood in the Boardroom, page 64).

page 127 "From what I understand, he’s been absent from recent board meetings, relying on a proxy to vote for items on his agenda."
In corporate management, the term "proxy" refers to shareholders votes casting during shareholder assembly. It does not apply to board of directors meeting. Besides, Damien Knight is also President of Ares Macrotechnology, a position that cannot be delegated to a third party and would have to be assumed by another member of the board.

page 144 "The Japanese Imperial State was getting into a full swing with the tenth anniversary of the Emperor’s reign this year"
Default date for Storm Front ought to be late 2074 or early 2075. Yasuhito assumed the imperial throne on January 5th, 2062, according to Year of the Comet, page 102, and Shadows of Asia, page 78. The tenth anniversary would have taken place between Emergence and Ghost Cartels.

page 195 "likely another major weapons manufacturer, such as Hechler-Koch"
It should read Heckler-Koch (thought the actual name is Heckler & Koch).

page 64 "As some of you may know, Dana Oaks has (grudgingly) been appointed District Attorney. She served as interim DA until Election Day"

page 70 "KSAF Sources inside the District Attorney’s office have revealed that on Wednesday, October 31st, DA Dana Oaks secretly empaneled a Federal grand jury for a sealed investigation"

page 76 @19:23:52/10-03-74
"Today, six of my closest friends and colleagues were brutally murdered, including my dear boss, District Attorney David Beatty, and his dear, sweet wife. [...] Likewise, ADA Oaks, ADA Bates, ADA Sinclair, ADA Schultz, ADA Nguyen, paralegal Wurtz, and members of their families were brutally murdered in their homes."

Not clear, since the book never mentions Dana Oaks had an homonym serving as Assistant District Attorney, or any elaborate plot to fake her families slaughter.

That's probably something that should have been spelled out a little better. Her faked "death" takes place in a Missions adventure (SRM 04-09 Assassin Nation), and she was an ADA all through Missions Season 4.

Of course at the very end she was Acting instead of Assistant. Still abbreviated to ADA, nice touch.
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

page 10-34 (margin) "The Triump of Aztlan"
It should read "The Triumph of Aztlan".

page 71 "One boy, six years old, even told me that Brackhaven was even paying Tanamous to “clean up” the new district."
It should either read "Tamanous" or put in quotation marks if the six years old boy misspelled it in the first place.
