Continuity Error?

Others may have pointed this out, but in The Road to Hell, chan Rahool has to look for the CSE manual to check into what it means when chimpanzees are having a lot of babies suddenly.

But it's been established that he's a Voice, which means that he should have total recall of anything he ever read in it, I'd think.

He might not had read that part of the manual.

Two more continuity errors I can think of:
1. Hell's Gate has 10,000 Thankhar Olderhan (Jasak's father) as, among other things, the RETIRED commander of the Second Andaran Scouts. Road to Hell has him on active duty - specifically, a message addressed to "2AS-Actual" (namely, the commander of the Second Andaran Scouts) c/o Mrs. Arylis Ulthar is meant for him.
2. In Hell's Gate, Shaylar is absent from Chief Sword Threbuch informing Gadrial of Halathyn vos Dulainah's death, and she needs her Talent to tell her that something's happened. She tells the court interrogating her in Road to Hell that Threbuch won her respect with the way he told her - in terms that imply, to me, that she saw and heard the news being broken.
Editing to add:
3. Hell's Gate has Jasak briefing mul Gurthak on Sharona having a high degree of cultural unity but multiple nations and no political unity. Road to Hell has Jathmar fooling him into thinking that Sharona's had one government for quite some time. Technically, he's telling Jasak the truth, since Zindel was crowned several days earlier, but the "quite some time" part is a deception.

Jasak's father is the hereditary CO of the Second Andaran Scouts. That means he is the CO whether actively leading the Scouts or simply making policy affecting the Scouts but not in day-to-day command of the unit. He might have retired from active duty to take command of the Scouts when his father died and making him Duke. I suspect the Dukes of Garth Showma are the hereditary commanders of the unit but are not active members of the unit. Most probably have been active members of the unit and have retired from active service to take up their Ducal/political responsibilities.

I don't see any issue.

I think of the English royals and the military here: Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, holds the appointment of Colonel of the Irish Guards but is not (and never has been) an active duty officer in that regiment. Texev shows that T. Olderhan was a serving officer in the 2nd Andaran Scouts (and may well have been the unit's active CO as well as appointed by position), but holds the appointment as commander by his position as Duke. Textev also shows he takes that appointed position quite seriously.
