A book that plays in such an extensive and exciting universe as StarCraft is a joy to write, and there are many people who helped along the way. I’d like to thank my former agent, Brendan Deneen, and all the folks at FinePrint Literary Management, for making this one happen. I’d also like to thank my editors at Simon and Schuster, Jaime Costas and Ed Schlesinger, for all their hard work and support. A huge note of thanks is due to the people at Blizzard Entertainment, who are amazing in so many ways, both personally and professionally. Finally, to my family, friends, and fans: I thank you for your support. I hope I made you proud with this one.
