Doubtless down one or more of them were the Finders that he sought, hiding at the edges of his awareness, taunting him, however inadvertently, like children playing a game of blindman's buff.
So the Finders were naked?
How do you like the book so far?
If that sentence is typical, I think I would find it a slog to wade through. I tend to put books like that up long before they are finished.

Have to admit, I'm a bit lost on why "different to" is an example of the "collective plural."
That collective plural practice is interesting, though. We do that too, with the word "people," for example. We say "the people are," rather than "the people is," even though "the people" refers to a single large collection of persons. The British do apply this idea more widely, for sure, with examples like yours, "NASA are," or the committee or the faculty, etc., are.
And there's a good reason you were lost ... I wasn't saying that "different to" was a collective plural example. I was merely off on a somewhat related tangent (i.e., British terminology).

Most of the sentences do not have such a convoluted structure. Though there have been a few that I've had to read more than twice to understand the meaning. Because I like the series premise, I've struggled through lol
