Trivia[]
- The book as many mistakes. One of them being the story of Miranda's death. It mistakenly said she was killed by a Brute Honorguard. However, it is Truth who ACTUALLY kills miranda.
- Another mistake is that it said the remainder of the once existing Unyielding Hierophant's Invasion Fleet attacks earth. This is not true, since it retreated back to High Charity and participated in the Second Battle of Earth, not the First.
