Ground Zero - Minor Blooper (SPOILER!!!)

On the very last line of page 371, Weezy Goez to a window in the Lady's apartment. The next page, she says,

[SPOILER]They failed. Nine/eleven...the Septimus Order and Rasalom[/SPOILER]"--

Since when did Weezy learn "R's" name? And more importantly, why is she so casually dropping it???

Just something you may or may not want to tweak before the mass market HC hits, FPW - but then, I'm willing to be corrected if I missed something here.

Otherwise, thanks for scaring the living daylights out of me once again! LOVED LOVED LOVED it!!!

You're the 2nd one to catch this, Barry. Weezy knows his name but letting her speak it was an error. It will be changed for the mmpb, but for now let's just say that R was too distraught to notice.

Weezy learns about big R's name and what he's about in a conversation with Jack while they are driving in his Lincoln I believe. Jack warns her not to say his name....refering to HWMNBN...as R.

Ohhhhhhhhh, okay. Forgot about Weezy learning his name.

I did a double-take when I saw her drop it though. Good to know it wasn't just me (but that I wasn't the 4,235th person to notice it, or at least say something about it), and better still that it'll be changed for the MM.

Well, thanks for the great read, for the info, and good day to you all!
