To Ms Traci Harding, and whoever edited Masters of Reality:

Apostrophes are ONLY ever used for possesion or contractions.
They are _not_ used for plurals, not ever. Not even a little bit….

For some bizarre reason every pluralized instance of a couple of words in that book had a bloody apostrophe in it – God’s, Australian’s. ARGHHH!!
The first time bugged me enough I had to put the book down for a bit – but one mistake can slip through…the second one had me ready to throw it across the room, and after that I just became numb to them…
How the hell did that get to publication, and then through multiple re-prints with that many hideous errors in it????

The apostrophes weren’t the only problems either….
At one point, the earth was being powered by a bean from a fusion power plant in space.

Nothing like fusion powered bean to start your day!

Other than that – this one starts to get even more bizarre than the previous ones, and much more sci-fi, so much less interesting to me…
However Traci’s writing style is very easy to live with, so I keep reading.
