Star Trek: Vanguard: Storming Heaven (45 page)

Because music is so integral to my creative process, I wish to thank the composers whose work served as my touchstones on this final literary odyssey in the
Vanguard
saga: Clint Mansell (
The Fountain
), Ramin Djawadi (
Game of Thrones
), Hans Zimmer (
Sherlock Holmes
), Alan Silvestri (
Beowulf
), Bear McCreary (
Battlestar Galactica
), and Cliff Martinez (
Solaris
).

Lastly, my thanks belong to you, the readers of the
Vanguard
series. Your passion for this series not only made it possible to keep it going for eight books to its natural conclusion, it made it worth doing in the first place. So, until next time—live long and prosper.
