Beware the Honest Ones | |
| The Ice Limit / int_71ee0f38 | comment |
Beware the Honest Ones: The Commandante is ruthless about rules and regulations and has nothing but disdain for the Americans who come offering bribes and shady mining permits. Glinn thinks his strict adherence to protocols makes him predictable. It makes him one of the most unpredictable and dangerous factors in their operation. | |

Anti-Hero Antagonist: Commandante Vallenar will stop at nothing to punish people who bribe and steal from his country...including trying to flat out murder the crew of the The Rolvaag, chasing them into international waters, and murdering his own men in cold blood when they object to what's basically a suicide mission. | |

The in-book map also places Isla Desolacion as being part of the Cape Horn Islands, when in reality, it's located further up Chile's western coast, whereas the island identified is actually Isla Wollastone. The author's notes say this is intentional, however. | |

Artistic License – Geography: The book claims that Puerto Williams, located on Isla Navarino, is the southernmost city on the planet. The actual southernmost town is Puerto Toro, which is located on the eastern coast of the same island. The in-book map also places Isla Desolacion as being part of the Cape Horn Islands, when in reality, it's located further up Chile's western coast, whereas the island identified is actually Isla Wollastone. The author's notes say this is intentional, however. | |
