Yes it is true that the editing and proofreading in this book left a lot to be desired.  Nonetheless, "Emerald" is a nail biter, with so many twists and turns that it was impossible to keep count. I don't know how many of the proverbial 9-lives were used by the protagonists, but they used plenty. I also liked that there wasn't just one villain, but several, all with their own motives for desiring the tablet. I'll probably read it again sometime in the future because it is impossible to remember the wealth of detail in this story. Next time I'll pick up things I missed in this reading.Others have commented on the incredulity of many of the plot twists. They are, in fact, incredible. My liking this book had nothing to do with the quality of its technical accuracy or believabilty. I liked it simply because it is entertaining.
