Acknowledgements

Thanks to T.M. Wright for his kind and thoughtful Introduction.  Terry is a true master, and he led the way for many of us with his brilliant and groundbreaking work.  I will always be grateful not only for his contributions to our business and our art, but for his friendship as well.  Many thanks to Don D’Auria for believing in this novel, giving it new life, and for being such a joy to work with.  And as always, thanks to my wife Carol, my family and friends, and a special thank you to my readers and fans across the globe.
