Oh man.. this crap is so unrealistic as to what the MI6 would recruit someone for. Unless his uncle taught him locksmithing, copying keys with clay molds, tapping phone lines, creating concealed weaponary from a cnc machine, along with turning an air rifle into a .22 lr shot rifle.. this boy is real unrealistic. reminding me why i don't read that much fiction. I'm not saying that it's impossible to teach someone to be ready to do all that at 14.. but just a plot line isn't good enough.. i've seen writers ask pros for technical details.. pathetic.--Cyberman 23:45, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Most of the things you said aren't even in the books. --Unregistered Guy —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.158.134.73 (talk • contribs) 19:11, 20 July 2005 (UTC).[reply]

• His uncle thaught him foreign languages and martial arts, but a lot of the stuff you mentioned is only seen in James Bond, not what real spying is about. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MacGyverMagic (talk • contribs) 08:25, 27 August 2005 (UTC).[reply]

• • Actually, I think I've seen another error, the one about Eagle Strike. It talks about how the "US Military" would refuse to carry out a command ordering nuclear strikes against various locations in the world. Well, wouldn't anybody in charge of nukes have to follow out that order? I mean, the "President" is giving orders from Air Force One with codes from the nuclear football. That pretty much means its authentic, and I'm not sure why anybody would refuse to carry out orders from the Commander in Chief. Seriously, if a submarine commander refused to carry out an order and launch nukes in a pre-emptive strike (I imagine "Well, they haven't done anything yet."), he'd be shot and replaced on the spot. Even if they're orders to nuke some drug plantation in Columbia or Burma. Basically, I'm not sure whether that part should be in part of the book summary. The Gwai Lo 01:10, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
