“Missile launched south of Pyongyang!”

“Stand ready. ready!  Captain Watanabe scanned the water with his binoculars. 

 

 

p.4 top:

“Position and time –       time!    

“Impact at six thousand meters southeast of our position in ninety-four seconds, Sir!”

“Damn them, them!  Watanabe yelled at the floor.  The North Koreans knew that the Ashigara was there observing.

p. 4 bottom:

“Brace for impact, impact!  Watanabe shouted. Then an eerie silence.

              A loud blast

 

p. 16 top:

 

   Avrim watched the CNN feed on the large display screen.  Shivers went down his spine as the British Foreign Minister said, “Any Israeli entering Britain arriving in our country will be arrested.”

   Avrim stopped breathing as one of the green dotted lines became a solid red one line, extending from just outside of Chlhine, Lebanon to Akko, Israel.

 

 

p. 21 bottom:

   “Suzuki-san, I was just reading about the missile that flew over our heads.”  She pointed to the bright flash lighting up the ocean, splattered in full color across the front page of the newspaper.  “What do you think of this?”

            “I think I should do my job and you should do yours your job.  What have you found on my case?”

            “Inspector, you know we need more time for the DNA and hair analysis.”

            Haruto smiled.  “That’s why you started last night, right?”

            The technician hit a few buttons on her keyboard and studied read from the flatscreen in front of her.   

 

 

 

p. 60 3/4th down:  <<remove extra space in front of ‘Policeman Itou…’

            Itou held out the hand restraints.  “There’s an arrest warrant broadcast for you, Inspector.”

   “Policeman Itou, those charges against me are without merit.  I must solve my case.  Will you help me?”

 

 

p.  69 top:

Seiko.  Beta raised itself again, and using its front hands, opened the metal ammunition chest.  Beta scurried the few steps over to Alpha.  Using its front hands again, it popped open Alpha’s chest plate.

 

p. 76 halfway:

Reflected off the chandelier globe, Haruto saw on the large display a colored schematic.  Teller-Ulam Hydrogen Device.  On the top was an egg shape with concentric layers of different colors.  Right below that was a larger green sphere.

<<new paragraph here>> “Two-stage hydrogen bomb.  Building it is many times more complicated than building a simple plutonium fission device. <<continue into next paragraph, ie no new paragraph>>  Ilana put the electronic pointer on the inner layer of the top eccentric sphere.  “When the conventional explosives around the plutonium egg explode, they implode the egg and nuclear fission occurs.  We put tritium-deuterium gas in the center of the egg to boost its explosive yield.  You’d think adding tritium is simple, but it took us seven underwater tests to get it right.”

 

 

p. 102 bottom:

 

up to a middle row in the theatre and opened the first snack refrigerator, taking out a bottled water, a plastic bottle of Coca-Cola and two Mars Bars.

 

p. 109  halfway:

Seiko shook his head.  “No, no.  Please remember, we crammed many different cameras into the two eyes.  Yes, in operation, you will see the eyeball cameras rotating in different  , non-synchronized directions.  But when the robot is with his commander, eye motions are very humanlike.”

 

p. 110  Alpha pic:  synchronize eyes in this pic and slight crease in forehead

 

p. 193 top:

a glossy white and red JAL ticket folder, a thin no-name digital camera attached to a massive ivory white Canon telephoto lens, and a bulky plastic Casio watch.

            Haruto reached down for the red passport with distinctive gold letters on its cover, and opened it within the confines of the backpack shell.  “Who is Aoyama Takamichi?”

 

p. 235 bottom:

“Mr. Aoyama, so why are you in Israel.  Tell me, Mr. Aoyama. I want to know.  Where’s your luggage. Why are you here? What type of work do you do in Japan?  Why are you here?  What’s the purpose of your trip? trip.  I’m asking you again –”

 

p. 261 3/5th down:

The fighters’ bodies exploded in a bloody eruption out of the ditch.  The Alpha and Beta robots immediately headed continued south toward Bint Jubayl.

 

p. 302  2/3rd down:

“My mother’s family was killed in the camps in Hungary Poland during World War II, but she ran away just before they were rounded up. 

 

p. 375  aerogel…   halfway down the paragraph:

to 99% of the original gel can now be filled with air.  Not only is it very light, it is filled with zillions of nooks and crannies, that is, there is a huge surface area there now.  Impregnate the aerogel with the necessary catalysts – “electrocatalysts” – required for the chemical-to-electricity reaction, and now you have in the tiny space of a cubic centimeter, perhaps over a hundred square meters of electrode.
