Acknowledgments.

I would like to thank Ty Franck for his help in navigating the particularly difficult waters of this book. Also my agents Shawna McCarthy and Danny Baror, whose hard work and attention allow me the career that I love, and DongWon Song, Anne Clarke, Alex Lencicki, Jack Womack, and the whole team at Orbit who have been brilliant and supportive. But especially, I would like to thank my family for taking up the slack while I was conducting wars and intrigues in my own head.

Always, any errors and infelicities are entirely my own.
