Forum:Contradiction in Bioshock 'Rapture'

I've read Bioshock Rapture and although I enjoyed the novel there is a certain contradiction present in the book regarding Suchong. In the games it is implied that Suchong's death occurred before work on the Alpha Series was even completed. And that in Bioshock 2 Multiplayer screen loading quotes; Sullivan was the one to discover his body after he was killed.

Seems though John Shirley missed that little detail as stated in his novel Suchong is still very much alive after the deployment of the Bouncer and Rosie. and Sullivan's assumed suicide.
