In The Shiva Option, on the top of page 311 it says, "The rule was that ANY HIT. . .was always fatal. In this case however, what had gotten through had obviously been an energy weapon of some sort--probably a laser--rather than a warhead, and the HIT had been a grazing one." (capitalized emphasis mine) I do not know how to reconcile this inconsistency which is within a single paragraph! If anyone can figure out how to explain it, please do so.
