*Supposedly the Second Squad was ''completely'' consumed by the Flood, specifically saying that their numbers dwindled until two [[PFC]]s remained, before the last of the marines fell. A page later, however, [[Foehammer]] picks up the surviving Marines. This contradicts the other information, though it is possible that part of the second squad was separated, or that she didn't know second squad was entirely [[KIA]].<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], pages 232, 233</ref>

*[[First Lieutenant Melissa McKay]]'s mission clock is prefixed by an extra 1. It should be noted, though, that the last time it shows her mission clock, the clock reads D+144:38:19, while on the Master Chief's last mission clock mention, it reads D+76:18:56. That's while he is en route to the ''Pillar of Autumn''. It wouldn't take over 5 hours to detonate the ship, let alone 70 hours.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], pages 127, 148</ref>

*An encounter with 2 Jackals ends with one bullet ridden and the other plummeting off a cliff. However, following this a Marine steps forward and summarily shoots "each Jackal in the head".<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 103</ref>
*Near the middle of the book, Spec Ops Elite [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] lays a trap for the Master Chief near the [[Silent Cartographer]], coinciding with [[Silent Cartographer (Level)|the game level of the same name]]. Afterward, he sends [[Yayap|a Grunt spy]] to [[Alpha Base]]; the spy reports that the Chief has gone there sometime before the events of the level "[[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]]". This is impossible, as from the Silent Cartographer, the Chief goes straight to the area around the [[Control Room]], and then straight to the swamps in the level. ''However, the book does say that Foehammer picked up the Chief to bring him back to Alpha Base, where he "scarfed a quick meal and a couple hours of sleep", so it is possible that Yayap saw him at that time.''

*[[Sergeant Stacker]] is not mentioned in the book. He is replaced during the raid on the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' by [[Sergeant Parker]], and for the raid on the Silent Cartographer by Gunnery Sergeant [[Waller]]. The only place where he might make in appearance is when the Chief rescued a crashed Marine squad with a Sergeant, where Stacker is normally found in the game.
