InconsistenciesEdit

• In Ch. 8 of The Angel's Command, Ned tells Ben that he has "grown to look quite furtive over the past few decades". The year at this part of the story is 1628. Ben and Ned met in 1620, so it's impossible for them to know each other for "decades" at this point.

• In Ch. 17 of The Angel's Command, Dominic claims to have seen "over half a century" in Ben's eyes, however as Ben would technically only be 21 years old at this time, this would be inaccurate.
