The Lion of Mars

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am so grateful to have had such generous assistance on my journey to the Red Planet. Special thanks to Dr. Chris McKay, Margarita Marinova, and Dr. Mary Beth Wilhelm. The Mars Society has been welcoming and incredibly helpful. I am especially indebted to Mario Colorado for his work on microalgae and Douglas D. Shull for his advice on lava tubes. Many thanks to Dr. Kjell Lindgren, Dr. Vincent Michaud, Dr. Dean Olson, Dr. Jeff Siegel, and Theresa Rogers for medical advice. In addition, thank you to the creative Rachel Hart for visual wizardry.
I have dear friends who helped me along the way, including Shannon Rosa, Craig Rosa, and Pamela Turner. My patient editor, Michelle Nagler, and my wonderful agent, Jill Grinberg, helped keep this ship on course!
Most of all, warm thanks to my dear friend and high school French teacher, Diane Cusumano.
Finally, a universal debt is owed to Dr. Robert Zubrin for keeping the dream of Mars alive.
Mars or bust!
