%%* EnsembleDarkhorse: [[RabidCop Captain Zuccho]].
* HilariousInHindsight:
** The Brexit referendum of 2016 makes this book funnier, especially when Klingferm tells Harry that there was talk of Britain leaving the EU and joining the US.
** The book isn't as overtly sci-fi as Grant's [[Series/RedDwarf previous]] [[Literature/{{Colony}} works]], with the technologies shown being grounded in reality, albeit further developed than at the time of the book's release. Two of them in particular (tablet computers and hybrid vehicles) gained wider mainstream adoption in the years since publication.
%%* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Harry catches the train to Vienna. Even though it doesn't stop at the massive train station where he has bought his ticket. It takes several chapters and Harry is battered in the process.
* {{Squick}}: Several cases, but the best example is coroner Dr. Rutter's hobby of removing faces from corpses and [[CrossesTheLineTwice stitching them to the buttocks of other corpses]].
