This book would not exist if not for a childhood introduction to Star Trek and more recent exposure to the vast catalog of work created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Thank you, Eva Hartmann with Your Fiction Editor, for helping me refine the story I set out to tell. Thanks, too, to the subscribers to The Weekly DiVa who answered my call for help to name the captain of the Moon Unit, most notably Sandy Ingram, Faye Trammel, Katherine Munro, and Connie Edwards, from whose suggestions I landed a proper name, and to The Polyester Posse, for your efforts on my behalf. And to Josh Hickman, who rose to the challenge of “I want to watch space movies” and sought out the most obscure titles that could be found on the internet. You are the dilithium crystal that keeps my warp (warped?) drive functioning.
