My least favorite one, which has happened a couple of times of late, is reading about detailed cockpit conversation during an action; which you take at face value until three pages later you find that the aircraft crashed with no survivors.
Unless this was one of those rare occasions when the pilot left the microphone on transmit after an R/T message you realise that the author is making it up as he goes along

I agree with you 100%, Martin. That's one of the things that turns me off of an author completely, including anything they put out in the future.
