5HC and Revelations

On the cusp of the 21st century, not everyone may know that the refence to the multi-headed Beast and the Whore of Babyon can be found in Revelations chapters 13 and 17. A further linkage to the multi-headed Cerberus is that the Beast ascends out of a bottomless pit. Revelations 13:3 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." So I guess this is the mechanical grandfather of the clones in 5HC?

That would be Revelation, singular. Funny how widespread that solecism is. (I have an interest in knowing this, having recently published a novel in Australia co-written with Rory Barnes, titled THE BOOK OF REVELATION. Steal from the experts, I say.)
