Synopsis

It's almost three weeks from the prom event, and the preparations for Dale's and Gadget's wedding are underway.

Goofs

Name of Geegaw's wife in this novel is "Laura", while in the previous installment her name is "Sarah". According to Dr. Indy, the case of this inconsistency is dissention he and Chris Silva had when writing the series. Chris wanted to name Gadget's mother "Sarah" to coincide with other Ranger stories, namely those by John Nowak, while Dr. Indy wanted her to have a different name so they wouldn't have such a connection. As a result, she got both names, albeit merely by accident.
