Update, 25 Dec 2020: All the errata in this post have been corrected in the latest download from Amazon. If you have the book in your Kindle, simply delete the download and re-download it. (Worked for me, anyway.)
Of course I am re-reading the book, now it’s been published, and of course I have found a couple of bone-headed errors.
Using Kindle page numbers (which are not the same as the page numbers in the manuscript:

| Time Will Tell, Page 22 | “… I didn’t go back to school until … hmm … until, well, 1986.” | 1996. His Timeline 1 counterpart went in 1986, when he left the service. In 1986, Timeline 0 Wolff was still in the Marines.
I think this was a late change when I was trying to reconcile timeline events, and the change to the timeline document just didn’t make it into the book. |
| Chapter 5, Page 115 | Wolff was a little taken aback. “Reserve commission or not, I’m smart enough to know I got out as a shot-up E-7 who’d been bucking for First Sergeant, and that was forty years ago.” | It was fifty years (fifty-one, to be precise, but we’re not going to worry about that). |
| Chapter 6, Page 138 | He glanced at the keyboard — in Latin characters, laid out QWERTY-style (apparently nothing had changed in 25 centuries) | He glanced at the keyboard — in Latin characters, laid out QWERTY-style (apparently nothing had changed in that department)
Just bad continuity on my part, they don’t know how far forward the invaders are from, yet. |
| Chapter 8, Page 167 | He shook his head, clearing it of the forty-year old memories he didn’t need to deal with, right now. | Same as above. Fifty, not forty. |
| Chapter 13, Page 235 | “Look, Commodore, I haven’t been an officer very long, but forty years of civilian life…” | Same as above. Fifty, not forty. |
Apparently I can’t subtract 1993 from 2044 very well.
These fixes will be in an update at some point. Table will be added to as I find more things to fix.
(Added erratum in Chapter 6, page 138, on 24 Dec 2020.)
