Review: An interesting story spoiled by poor editing and attention to detail

While I enjoyed the story, I was distracted by the author's lack of attention to detail and poor editing.Examples of the lack of attention to detail are:"a 7.65 Walther PP automatic" referenced as a revolver numerous times.  It is not a revolver.Stating that a "silencer" (correctly know as a suppressor) was used then stating that the weapon was a revolver.  Suppressors are not usable on the vast majority of revolvers because of the gap between the barrel and the cylinder.  This gap allows the expanding gasses to escape creating noise which negates the usefulness of a suppressor.David Schiff is described as both a Chief Warrant Officer and a Chief Petty Officer on multiple occasions.  The ranks are not the same.Referencing a magazine as a clip.  The terms are not interchangeable.  A clip loads rounds into a magazine and the magazine loads rounds into the weapon.  I find this error in an outrageous number of books.Again I enjoyed the story but the errors in editing and the lack of attention to details degraded from my enjoyment.
