* IdiotPlot: Couldn't the protagonist just, like, look up the sources of Nile in ''any contemporary encyclopedia'', instead of going on a trip through time? It's even more grating when, throughout the book, he treats the sources of Nile as some huge mystery which he is ''so'' desperate to find out.

* HilariousInHindsight: The FeatheredFiend depiction of ''Deinonychus'', while unusual for 1988, predicted current scientific knowledge that birds are theropod dinosaurs and many non-avian theropods related to birds (including the group that ''Deinonychus'' belongs to, the dromaeosaurs) really were bird-like animals with a body covered in feathers.
