Acknowledgments

The Author wishes to express his thanks and appreciation to James Blish, for early encouraging this novel, to Damon Knight and the late Richard McKenna for major suggestions concerning it, to L. Sprague de Camp, Karen Anderson, Walter Breen, the late Hannes Bok and the late Professor Willy Ley for valuable information included in it, Sayre Hamilton for help in preparing the manuscript, to Robert Silverberg and Virginia Kidd and Lawrence P. Ashmead for help in arranging its publication; to Don Denny, for information precognitive of this book; particularly to Grania K. D. Davis for assisting in its construction, and to that magical spirit of prophecy which — far more than corporal hand or conscious mind — actually wrote it.
