This is a work of fiction. All incidents, dialogue, and characters, with the exception of historical figures, are products of the author’s imagination. Where historical figures appear, the situations, incidents, and dialogue concerning them are entirely fictional and are not intended to depict actual events. Any historical event depicted in the work is also the product of the author’s imagination and is not intended to be an accurate historical representation of such event. In all other respects, any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely coincidental.
