Yes, thank you. I am astonished by this. Even though the company I work for publishes fiction books, I am asked to do all sorts of research to make foreign places, weapons, and other things authentic. Some readers will miss the details but in military fiction, people like Tom Clancy cannot afford to be sloppy. That this is being done by an established publisher can only tarnish its reputation in the research community. I think I'll refrain from posting new releases in this series. And perhaps, the publisher should be notified in a civil, factual way.
