Acknowledgments

This book never would have been written if Dr. Stanley Schidt at Analog had not rescued a story titled “A Touch Beyond” from the slush pile. A few years later he published “Angel,” the second part of the Marchey/Angel saga. When I tried to sell him a third part, he said what this really wanted to be is a novel. But don’t blame him.

A million thanks are due to my wife, Sue-Ryn, for protecting me from the rest of the planet during writing season and gently and patiently dealing with the zombie I become. Thanks are also due to friends and family who encouraged me; to my agent, Joshua Bilmes, for helping sell this story to a good home; and to Laura Anne Gilman and her crew at Penguin Putnam for getting it into print.
