Trivia / RCN

• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: The Publishers Weekly review quotation on the front cover of With the Lightnings reads, "This surely shouldn't—and probably won't—be Cassian and Adele's last adventure together." There is no such character as Cassian; the reviewer apparently read an early draft where Daniel's name was Cassian Daniels and the review was never updated.
• Write Who You Hate: David Drake included a Spoiled Brat and a child molester, both named Platt. These are named after a critic named Charles Platt who unfavorably reviewed Hammer's Slammers with a line that if Drake had ever served in the military, he wouldn't write "such queasy voyeurism". Drake, who served in Vietnam as a US Army interrogator attached to the 11th Armored Cavalry and started writing Military Science Fiction as self-therapy, took this remark rather personally.
