Acknowledgments
No book is written in a vacuum, and Demons of the Past even less so than most. First, my wife Kathleen, who sacrificed a lot of her hours to give me the hours to write all this stuff.
Second, I acknowledge my Beta Readers, who as always have stood vigilant against my taking the easy route or, even worse, contradicting myself, and let me know whether what I wrote worked.
Third, the inspirations who made Demons possible – James Schmitz, Doc Smith, Alan Dean Foster, Christopher Anvil, Isaac Asimov, and many more. Their visions showed me what was possible, and helped me to build the story the way I wanted it to be.
And fourth, to Eric Flint, who saw potential and gave it a push.
