He was, but I think that the reader had been told about it in advance. The hero thought it was just a fancy flak jacket when he took it, but IIRC the reader knew about the existence of these jetpacks, and could have recognised that it was a jetpack when it was first described.

Sounds like I’m getting my books mixed up and I’m really remembering a scene from Temple… but I don’t have copies of either of them anymore so I can’t check for sure.

I hated The Da Vinci Code because on the first two pages, he says, “Thundering iron gate”, instead of “The iron gate thundered”, had someone freezing while turning his head, and had a character describe another character’s eye colour, even though it was very dark and they were ten feet apart.

.

It was better (or worse) than that! It was a distance of fifteen feet and the assassin is described as being a silhouette. Yet though he is a silhouette the character is able to discern his pale skin, his albino hair, his pink irises and his red pupils.
