message: This is one of my favourite books, but I'm really disappointed of the Spain image in the book. I'm from Spain and I can assure you that the Spain described in the book IS NOT SPAIN, it's more similar to the poor areas of Mexico. I'm translating a section of the Spanish Wikipedia that talks about it, but I need somebody who has read the book to help me with some things. --93.156.201.185 (talk) 13:51, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't see how Commander Strathmore is the bad guy.  I know he wanted Susan, but that doesn't really count as harming her.   Ensei Tankado Numataka's father Tokugen on the other hand would be for his deal with Strathmore.  Luckily, the plan was foiled.  Maybe, he sent one of the "sharks" to NSA's data bank to wait for his son's worm to destroy the security fields, then he could get America private secrets.  The assassin Strathmore hired Hulohot could be the secondary villain. Strathmore is really the TRAGIC HERO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.10.96.51 (talk) 15:45, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Strathmore employs Hulohot with specific instructions to kill David Becker, and he kills both Chartrukian & Greg Hale himself.  That seems pretty antagonistic to me.  The rest of your reasoning is pretty much Original Research, I'm afraid.   a_man_alone (talk) 16:30, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's also a violation of WP:TALK, since talk pages are for discussing ways to improve the article, and not are not forums for general discussion of the article's topic, and nowhere does the above user mention the article or anything wrong with it, as it never mentions Strathmore as a "bad guy". Nightscream (talk) 15:50, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not strictly true - the character list states:  "Commander Trevor Strathmore — NSA Deputy Director of Operations and the main antagonist"  Antagonist is just another way of saying "bad guy", and if we agf then the IP is asking for "Antagonist" to be removed from his description.  Which I disagree with - I think he's rotten to the core and gave examples to support.   a_man_alone (talk) 16:26, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Strathmore the bad guy? 

message: We can add minor characters as well
E.g. 
1. The canandian old man whom David Becker meets in Spain for the ring.
2. Rocio : The prostitute whom David meets the hotel.
3. The girl who gived David the ring on the Airport.
and so on...
Also the major characters may have some more description.
E.g 
David Becker : A university professor on languages and the fiancé of Susan Fletcher. He is instructed to travel of Spain and retrieve the pass-key from dead Ensei Tankado.  SalilSBudhe (talk) 11:36, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this article include (at least a mention of) the 128-10-93-85-10-128-98-112-6-6-25-126-39-1-68-78 easter egg following the epilogue?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amonroejj (talk • contribs) 01:57, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Does it appear in secondary sources? Nightscream (talk) 05:32, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: And to be honest - even if it does - is it really notable to the article, apart from more code japery?  The book's so stuffed with them they begin to pall after a while.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 06:39, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I wanted to mark the 235->238 math on the Nagasaki bomb as innacurate.  What is the WP style for doing so?  even tho it is accurate to the novel, i'd appreciate grossly incorrect facts marked or footnoted in some way. e.g. (sic) or [Incorrectly...]  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ameres (talk • contribs) 14:48, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you have a secondary source that mentions the inaccuracy, which can be cited per WP:V, WP:CS, WP:NOR/WP:SYNTH, etc.? Nightscream (talk) 22:26, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, even if you do have sources, they are not worthy.  If we're prepared to believe in the story that TRNSLTR exists, then we should also believe everything else in the context of the novel.  It all falls under suspension of belief.  I would be against pointing out such things.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 15:44, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
