The Dominion Key (26 page)

Ein ganz herzliches Dankeschön auch an meine Schwiegereltern, Michael und Irmtrud Schlör, ebenso wie an Karin Schlör, Kalle Geis und Zenta Englert. Ich bin so dankbar, ein Teil eurer Familie zu sein
.

Thank you to my brother, Evan Bacon. I might be able to invent robots on the page, but you build them in real life. And to Laura Cattani and the entire Cattani family, who generously open their home for ranch Thanksgivings and reggae parties.

Words cannot express my gratitude for my parents, Terry and Jamie Bacon. Thank you for everything. (And sorry for making Joshua’s parents horrible supervillains. It’s a total coincidence, I swear.)

And my final thank you goes to Eva. My wife and best friend, walking companion and translation consultant, social coordinator, and the person I want to do everything with. Always and forever. None of this would’ve been possible without you.

You are the Key.
