Acknowledgments:
Thank you to Dr. Tedd Roberts for helping with research, and to Chris Muir for letting me play with his characters in the last bit of this book.
Also, thank you as always to Toni Weisskopf for letting me do Space Opera and to my team of beta readers. In particular I’d like to single out Francis Turner, Dayna Hart, Pam Uphoff, Amanda Green, and Kate Paulk—and always Dan Hoyt—but that does not diminish the contributions of the others who helped make this book what it is.
