“Those two gentlemen are Martin Lau and Yegevney Kuznetsov.”
This line took me out of the story, confused me more than anything else in the whole series, which is amazing for a sci-fi series. Really? Out of all the Russian sounding names, the author chooses the exact first and last name of one of Washington Capitals forwards? For a story that takes place in the DC area and is about a sport where the violence is half the enjoyment. Um, okay. Had to flip forward a couple pages, I was so confused, even knowing that it takes place in the future and there weren't any other real people in it, etc.
