Upgrade Question in US Edition

The Upgrade Center says "6: Go to page 150 and change 'Sydney' to 'Tokyo' in the sentence: '..then to New York, DeepDrop to Sydney and finally another overmantle to Auckland.' As we find out on the following pages, Thursday drops from London to Sydney; the New York DeepDrop only goes to Tokyo."

The page 150 I have has Thursday, Landen and Hades Acheron having tea in Thursday's memories. Where is the correction above supposed to go? I couldn't find it in the book.

If it makes any difference in editions, this correction is already made by the publisher in the one I have: Go to page 310 and where it says: "so I could have brought in a fleet of Harrier jump jets and the entire Ringling brother's circus and no-one would be any the wiser"

replace with:

"so I could have brought in a squadron of Hurricanes and the entire Ringling brother's circus and no-one would be any the wiser".

Hmmm…do you know if the edition you have is the same one on the upgrade page? It's been a few years since the upgrade page for LIAGB came out, so the publisher may have put out a new addition with all the corrections made by now.

Come over to Nextian Chat and introduce yourself! There may be offers of cake!

Hi SeaJei, Welcome.

As MS has already invited you to Nextian, I will be there with pies. If you get there before me, just help yourself.

It does sound as if the publisher has done the work for you. So that's a bonus!!

I think I have the same edition as you, seajei. The correction is on page 163, when Thursday is explaining the Gravitube system to Snell.
