People were sending the physical books back because they believed there was a large chunk of text missing. The ebook kept getting pulled because new readers were calling in and complaining of missing text. He (the author) swore he'd never try anything like that again.

I wasn't fooled, of course. Not sure why it was so hard for people to figure out that the device exploded; thus interrupting the first-person narrative mid-word.
Was it past tense? I would think it strange that you write a book and defuse a bomb at the same time.
