As in the previous volumes of the Bunduki series, we are employing Earth’s and not Zillikian’s terms for distances, transport, measurements of time and animals, with the exception of the various types of domesticated zebras known as ‘gatahs’. We are also giving details of Dawn Drummond-Clayton’s and James Allenvale ‘Bunduki’ Gunn’s family background and upbringing in the form of appendices.
I would like to thank Philip Jose Farmer for the permission he has granted allowing me to make use of his characters, Lady Hazel and Sir Armond John Drummond-Clayton.
