ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
So many people helped with the shaping of this book, it’s hard to remember everyone, but I’ll definitely try.
Thanks first and foremost to my wife, Jade. You are always the number one person who I write for, and this book is no exception. Thanks to my editor, Kjersti Egerdahl, for the excellent suggestions and helping me see different sides of the story as it was created. Thanks to Jacque Ben-Zekry for all the encouragement as well as Tiffany Pokorny, Alan Turkus, and the rest of the team at Thomas & Mercer. I couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks to Tegan Tigani for all the great insight! And thanks to Blake Crouch for the best writing advice I’ve ever gotten—no more small ideas.
