Jennifer Mitchum missions error
I was re-reading the CHERUB series recently and noticed something that felt a bit off.
James is widely considered one of CHERUB’s top agents. Across the entire original series, he completes 12 missions and finishes his CHERUB career with a black shirt.
However, in the first book (The Recruit), we meet Jennifer Mitchum. She was also a black shirt agent and completed 26 missions, more than double James's total!
Even if she was one of the absolute best agents of her generation, 26 seems extremely high. Is this just an early-series inconsistency by Robert Muchamore before the number of missions was fully established? Or is it plausible that she completed a lot of shorter, minor operations, like recruitment assignments (similar to Kyle's) or security tests (like Lauren did), that still counted toward her total mission count?
What do you guys think?
