As always, I owe a significant debt of gratitude to those who have aided in the creation of this book. The help they offered includes background information, story suggestions, plot review, checking for correctness and inconsistencies, as well as the tiresome effort of chasing down grammar and typographical errors. Those who performed these tasks include Evelina Blink, Bill Luebke, Bill Maggiora, Jim Spiva and John Taylor
