I was just as surprised to see what they were doing as readers will be, I think. In particular my heartfelt thanks to David Thomas Moore and Ben Smith for their support. My thanks also to Jonathan Oliver who commissioned those first three novels, which I had so much fun with—as indeed I did with this one. To all my mates in the writing world, you know who you are and how important you are to me. And to my other family, the one that keeps me going, especially my lovely daughter and <i>Arrowhead</i> fan Jen, and ever-loving wife. My very own Mary and my inspiration: Marie.</p> </body> </html>
