*At the beginning of the novel, it is stated that twenty-seven Spartans were carried to the surface of Reach aboard ''Bravo 001''; however in ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' it is stated that "two dozen Spartans" were present at Reach, in addition to the Master Chief, with three other Spartans (later revealed to be Gray Team) "engaged on fields of combat too distant to be easily recalled". Therefore, the Pelican that Fred-104 takes to the surface should only have twenty-two Spartans, (including Fred) since John-117 takes two Spartans with him in a separate Pelican for the mission to ''Gamma Station''. Several recent sources have definitively stated that twenty-two Spartans were assigned to Red Team, with the three-member Blue Team dispatched to ''Gamma Station'' and Gray Team behind enemy lines and thus out of contact.<ref>'''[[Data Drop]]'''</ref><ref>'''Halo Wars''' timeline</ref><ref>'''Halo: First Strike''' (2010) Adjunct)</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/user/HaloWaypoint#p/a/DF8EE7CCE045CAA0/0/jh7Q3fjIIwc '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Defiant to the End'']</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''', [[Library (feature)|Library]] - Pelican</ref> | *At the beginning of the novel, it is stated that twenty-seven Spartans were carried to the surface of Reach aboard ''Bravo 001''; however in ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' it is stated that "two dozen Spartans" were present at Reach, in addition to the Master Chief, with three other Spartans (later revealed to be Gray Team) "engaged on fields of combat too distant to be easily recalled".

*In the original printing, the Longsword that John and the other survivors of the Battle of Installation 04 used to board ''Ascendant Justice'' is consistently referred to as a Pelican. This is corrected in the revised edition. | *In the original printing, the Longsword that John and the other survivors of the Battle of Installation 04 used to board ''Ascendant Justice'' is consistently referred to as a Pelican.

*In the 2010 adjunct section, Fred-104 is incorrectly referred to as a lieutenant during his psychological evaluation, which takes place during the early stages of the [[Battle for Earth]]. He actually held the rank of senior chief petty officer at this time and was not promoted to lieutenant, junior grade until the [[Onyx Conflict]]. | *In the 2010 adjunct section, Fred-104 is incorrectly referred to as a lieutenant during his psychological evaluation, which takes place during the early stages of the [[Battle for Earth]].
