One line ends with -mpty, and the next line (and the page) ends with two capitalized words with the initials H.D.
It is, I think, only my own copy of Liberated that would give rise to such an error. I converted an epub to a Word document, set the font size and margins to my liking, and had it printed and bound. Probably none of the book's other (few!) readers has the words lined up on the page like that.
That last line, continued on the next page, speaks of something being "hastily recorded by Heaven's Dead Men Scribes." This syncs with another book I am currently reading, Enoch the Prophet by Hugh Nibley, where the title character -- a Man ascended to Heaven, though admittedly not dead -- is "Enoch the Scribe, keeper of the records," "Enoch in his primary role of heavenly scribe," of whom Nibley writes:
But everywhere Enoch is credited with being the scribe and transmitter par excellence, "the Righteous Scribe, the Teacher of heaven and earth, the Scribe of Righteousness."
