This is a work of fiction. All incidents and dialogue, and all characters with the exception of
some well-known historical and public figures, are products of the author’s imagination and are
not to be construed as real. Where real-life historical or public figures appear, the situations,
incidents, and dialogues concerning those persons are entirely fictional and are not intended
to depict actual events or to change the entirely fictional nature of the work. In all other respects,
any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely coincidental.
