*[[First Lieutenant Melissa McKay]]'s mission clock is prefixed by an extra 1. It should be noted that the last time it shows her mission clock, the clock reads D+144:38:19. Master Chief's last mission clock mention, it reads D+76:18:5 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> | *[[First Lieutenant Melissa McKay]]'s mission clock is prefixed by an extra 1.

*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.'' | *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]].

*[[Sergeant Stacker]] is not mentioned in the | *[[Sergeant Stacker]] is not mentioned in the novel. 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]]. One place where he might make in appearance is when the Chief rescued a crashed Marine squad with a Sergeant and where Stacker is normally found in the game. | ||
*At one point, the book states: "''Consistent with his status as a veteran, the first alien to come around the corner wore red-trimmed armor, a methane rig, and a Marine's web pistol belt. The alien wore the captured gear Pancho Villa-style and dragged it across the deck. Two of his comrades brought up the rear."'' That is '''three''' Grunts in the Master Chief's sight. The next paragraph says, "''Confident that there were more of the vaguely simian aliens on the way, the Master Chief paused long enough to let '''more''' of them appear, then opened fire. The recoil compensators in his armor dampened the effect, but he could still feel the handgun kick against his palm. '''All three''' of the Grunts went down from head shots.''" It is as if the extra Grunts that appeared simply disappeared. Only three Grunts were killed yet, which are the three original Grunts that first appeared, the leader and the two followers. But "''...the Master Chief paused long enough to let '''more''' of them appear, then opened fire... '''All three''' of the Grunts went down from head shots.''" It is possible, though, that the Master Chief had simply ''expected'' more Grunts to appear; he may have simply waited in case more Grunts appeared, and then opened fire when he was sure there weren't any. It is also possible that Master Chief was simply waiting for <b>more</b> of the three Grunts to appear, giving him larger target silhouettes to hit.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 27</ref> | *At one point, the book states: "''Consistent with his status as a veteran, the first alien to come around the corner wore red-trimmed armor, a methane rig, and a Marine's web pistol belt.
