Except these numbers are 400 billion and hundreds of billions,
respectively.

Sorry, you're right.  I just copied and pasted the book description and
didn't pick up the million billion mix-up.

Based on the above 'very' rough guesstimate/thumbsuck :

400 billion galaxies x 400 billion stars per galaxy = 1.6e+23 stars in
the universe!

Quite staggering.
