“Well, it’s a good job I got the looks and the brains, isn’t it?”
...innit?
The rain had stopped completely, and as they walked along the A9, they were protected from the worst of the wind by the woodland on either side of the road.
Wouldn't it be safer to walk off the roadway and through he woodland ALONGSIDE the road, out of sight???
“I understand,” he said, removing his hand and placing it in his pocket.
Hmmm.... Something seems suspecious about this guy!!! I don't trust him!!!
“Sounds like a plan,” Wren said, raising her spear. They spread out, fixing
I thought that she knew how to use better weapons than a mock spear!!!
“Outlying islands?” Josh said.
I still don't trust him!!!!
“A bit of a c—”
Bet she doesn't mean cow this time!!! LOL
“Don’t worry, I can look after myself. I managed to get out of a few scrapes back in Embo,” he said, smiling. “Embo?” Mila asked. “You said you came from Golspie.” There was a split-second pause before he answered. “I do … I did. Err … Embo was one of our neighbours. They eventually fell to the infection,
Hmmmmmm.... He is interested in everything Wren was telling the actors about Safe Hafen and the islands!!!! He's a bad guy!!!! I know it!!!!!
“About the people I left behind.”
He should have said 'loss'!!! Lets hope Wren picks up on that!!!

They both watched as Josh climbed down from the tree and collected his weapons.
Weapon.
He only has the shotgun!!!!
Maybe that’s why the drones were out looking for him because he was some kind of deserter.” “Yes. Yes, that makes sense, a deserter, and he didn’t want to say anything for fear of being ostracised.” “That’s the only thing that makes sense. I mean it’s not like he can overthrow an entire camp or something by himself, is it?” “I’m sure you’re right,” Emmy said, taking a seat beside her. “I have to be,” Ruby replied, taking hold of Emmy’s hand. “I have to be.”
Does not make sense. There are easier, less dangerous ways to desert the army. Like doing it at night, sneeking away or abscounding while on guard duty!!!!!
The majority of the beasts were pushing and barging against the side entrance.
Which means people are in there!!!
“The sooner I get out of this place the better.”
Thinking only of himself???
Josh nodded. “Good to know.” He pumped the fore-end of the shotgun and aimed it at Mila. “Over there with him. Drop your weapons and both of you in the back of the truck—now.”
I KNEW IT!!!!!
She nocked another arrow and looked at the two halves of the spear Wren held.
Shouldn't they recover some of the spent arrows? How many can she have left?
The beast that had hold of her moved its mouth towards her face, its haunting grey eyes and wild flashing pupils doing their best to mesmerise her.
I don't remember them ever doing this before!!!
She leapt back and to the side, causing two of them to miss her by a few feet and bringing the spearhead around at the third. The sharp wooden point burrowed into the monster’s head, and she whipped it out again just as fast as the other two beasts corrected their trajectory and lunged for her once more.
How can it still be sharp after all its been through???
She brought the spearhead around, stabbing the second attacker straight through the temple. Not even waiting for the creature to fall, she withdrew the sharp stick and lunged for the fallen beast as Wolf pinned it down.
See prior note.
Josh looked nervous as the rest of the ten-strong squad climbed into the minibus.
In order to keep the number of men throughout this chapter correct (and not to have to make so many corrections), the ten should be changed to eight.
“That’s right. You don’t have to worry; you’ve got eight heavily armed men back there who have all been taught the same and who’ll all be looking for the same thing.
The first sentence of this chapter said that there were 10 people getting in the back of the vehicle while those two spoke!!!
They had convinced themselves that Wren’s alarm had been nothing more than an overactive imagination fuelled by the day’s traumatic events, but now, as nine rifles all pointed in their direction, they realised they were wrong.
Shouldn't that be 11 rifles since there are 11 men (the twelve man is guarding the gate)????
nine
Is this including Josh and his mentor?
Even in the glow of the fire he could see the silver streaks on her face. She was scared, they were all scared.
Silver streaks??????
“So that’s four down, six to go.”
Eight to go.

diesel
Diesel does not burn like petrol/gas. It takes awhile to get started unlike gas which will start burning right away. So you can not use diesel for a molotov cocktail.
Then, as it slowly began to gather itself, she shoved her foot down hard on the clutch, engaged first gear, and the van began to move once more,
If she didn't push the clutch in when she hit the brakes then the van would have stalled, not continue to run.
“I’m going to drain what diesel’s left in here,” he said, opening the fuel tank, “then I’m going to position the rest of these seats around the barricade, wedging them in where I can. I’ll pour on the diesel; then, when we throw our cocktails, the whole thing will go up.”
Bet it doesn't!!!!
It smashed against the frame and liquid fire spewed inside the cab of the vehicle and over the passenger.
Impossible. Diesel does not ignite that quick!!!!
scunnered.
Don't think that this is the right word to use. It means a strong dislike!!!
She looked at the Glock 17 in her hand, and her shoulders slumped a little more.
How many rounds does she have left after shooting at the tyres?
