AFTERWORD
Once again we are indebted to a large number of people
for helping make this book possible. These include Simon Brown (to whom this book is gratefully dedicated) and Chris Lawson, who provided invaluable feedback at an early stage; Shaun Thomas; the real Neil Russell; everyone at Ace and HarperCollinsPublishers Australia, Ginjer Buchanan and Stephanie Smith in particular; Richard Curtis and Danny Baror for services rendered; Erik Max Francis, for first proposing a scale based on Planck units; Winchell Chung, for his weird world of 3-D star maps and other resources; and Claus Bornich, author of the invaluable program
It’s Full of Stars,
for putting our star maps on his site. Other programs that came in handy were Cinegram Media’s
Red Shift 4
and Pro- Fantasy’s
Campaign Cartographer 2
and
Fractal Terrain.
Finally, we would like to emphasize that any factual errors found in this novel are, despite the best efforts of those listed above, entirely our fault.
