So help me, if I read another "hard" SF book ("hard" in quotes because it quickly abandons any pretense at science for fantasy) in which the two female characters are "the Power Bitch" and "the Hysterical Mother"... sheesh. And would it kill the editor to know the difference between "breech" and "breach"? When the hull of a spaceship is ruptured, or a topic of conversation introduced, it has been breached. "Breech" is used incorrectly at least 3 times in a 20-page stretch that leaves me in no doubt that it's not simply a typo. This drives me nuts.
