Trivia
- In the first book, Raven's Gate, the character Fabian says he is married and has two children, but in Evil Star he says he is not married and does not have any children (this may have been a lie to set an example to Matt that no one must know about the Nexus or it is merely just an error).
- In Evil Star, the remaining Gatekeepers (Scott, Jamie and Scarlett) are described as being white and fair-haired; however, none of the Gatekeepers are fair, and the three remaining Gatekeepers are all dark-haired and non-pure white (Jamie and Scott are Native Americans, and Scarlett is Chinese).
- A recurring motif in this book is of Matt's pointless missions. He visits William Morton bookseller to buy the diary of Saint Joseph but then Morton is killed before Matt can get the diary and the diary is stolen. The Nexus are increasingly desperate to buy the diary but when it's stolen they seem to forget the importance of the diary. Matt travels all the way to Salamanda's house at Ica expecting to find Richard but Richard isn't there (Salamanda says so) and Matt is almost killed. Finally, Matt travels all the way from the crashed helicopter into the Nazca Desert to stop the satellite being pulled into place by Salamanda but realizes too late that he failed anyway.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
