Magnus for the recurring morning coffee miracle, without which I would be unable to crank open my goopy eyes. Béla and Lina for kicking me out of my office and dragging me into the woods so we can get all dirty and stinky.
Ralf Kleemann for a virtual peek into a solar plane cockpit, and the people at the Alaska Dog Mushing Forum for advice on sled dogs and how to best starve to death in the Arctic.
My editors, Nancy DeMarco and Sabrina Flynn, and my beta readers, SiewBee and Pete Andrews.
My sharp-eyed and ever patient proof reader, Tom Welsh.
Sol Eppi, Lior Shoov, and Ben Howard for inspiring music.
