South West News Service, for permission to use their photograph of

The Concorde/The Clifton Suspension Bridge

Angie for the book cover concept

Dianne for manuscript proof reading

My lovely wife, Luiza, for proof reading and keeping me out of trouble (I have to say lovely or I will get into trouble. She said that she would do it for love, then later I understood that a payment of £100 would not go amiss!)

My son, Andy, for spiritual guidance, and for being a great kid!

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, for Sherlock Holmes

Eugene Wesley Roddenberry, for Star Trek

And, of course, Tabby; for her help in relation to Schrödinger’s Cat!
