This is my fourth alternate history novel, and all have been published by Random House’s Ballantine division. The people at Ballantine realize that alternate history is a growing and very intriguing niche in the world of historical fiction. And, for a writer, it is intellectually stimulating and just great good fun to tweak or twist history and make it come out plausibly and logically.
Along with being grateful for my wife, Diane; my daughter, Maura; and all the friends who have supported me, I’d like to thank Ryan Doherty and Fleetwood Robbins of Ballantine for all their assistance and advice.
