To Marisa, Casey and Phillipa. The girls in my life. And thanks to
Imogen for her work and effort.

Philip Sparrowhawk – August 2003

Martin Knight would like to dedicate this book
to Harry Knight (1920–2003)

*For a variety of legal and emotional reasons, some of
the names in this book have been changed.

In other cases, my memory has failed me – I have problems
remembering all my names, let alone others.
