I found nice inconstencies between the various chapters. Namely, from how long is Earth invaded by intruders:
Chapter 1:
I don’t know when they came. They’ve been here as long as I have. They came to our world and toppled regimes and overthrew governments. Some fought back while others capitulated.
|
Unless I am mistaken, but this sentence gives the feeling that the intruders are here for at least the same length than DL Bradley
| In the United States, the government was less…pragmatic. They fought, taking obscene levels of casualties and still continued. It is believed they even managed to kill one – by dropping a 50 megaton nuclear bomb on them on US soil. Americans don’t like to lose. |
So USA had nuclear weapons when the intruders came. BTW, I note mention of China but no mention of USSR/russia. So USSR/Russia must have been a lesser nation when the intruders came.
This is the third attack by the reconstituted US military this month.
In retaliation, an Intruder wiped out what was left of Edwards Airforce base which included.
|
I guess that if the Us military is considered as reconsistued and the Edwards Airforce wasn't wipped sooner, that not many years have passed since the invasion.
| There are rumors of course. One rumor in particular concerns me but only at a distance. It is that they come for the children. They come for them and take them away never to be seen again. |
If it is a rumor, then it should be something relatively new. I don't thing something could be called a rumor if there are lots of witnesses for a long period.
Chapter 3:
Agent: You will have to forgive our skepticism. In the 65 years that these beings have been here only one has been killed and that involved the United States air force dropping a multi-megaton nuclear bomb on him.
|
First time we got a duration. But that seems a pretty long duration
| Agent: I want to know who you really are. You don’t exist. I checked. You appeared 15 years ago out of nowhere in the records. You have no birth certificate, no childhood records, nothing. |
If prologue talk about the presence of DL Bradley and the intruders on Earth, then one would expect the intruders came 15 years ago
Chapter 5:
| In the decades the vile Intruders had been on this world killing millions of people, only 1 of them had ever died. |
What is the unit associated with decades? days, weeks, years?
| Frank Miller had served in World War II and in Korea. He had seen war at its worst. |
I guess WWII and Korea happened before the intruders came since US governement decimated by the war with intruders. If we suppose that Frank Miller was 30 years old at the end of the Korea and that intruders came after that and it was 65 years ago, it means that Frank Miller is 95 years old at least. Not what you would really picture when reading the chapter.
