DEDICATIONTo Iskander and Jim Grim and Shahrazed, Kim and T.E. Lawrence and Flashman, to John Carter, Khlit the Cossack and King of the Khyber Rifles and J.E. Flecker . . . and to all who played the Great Game and took the Golden Road to Samarkand. To Homer and Sophocles for the grand scheme of things. To horse thieves everywhere. We'd also like to thank Dr. Jerry Pournelle for graciously allowing us to turn Haven upside down, John Carr for composure in the face of the revolution, and Baen Books for saying "yes." We are obligated to James D. MacDonald, former sysop of the Science Fiction Round Table on GEnie, Martha Soukup, the current sysop, and Katherine Lawrence, topic leader, for work space and forbearance. We also gratefully acknowledge the help of many members OF GEnie's Military Round Table. Special thanks to GEnie friends and co-conspirators for their assistance and, in many cases, allowing their names to be taken in vain: Robert "Mr. Spook" Glaub; William "Sapper" Gross; John 'The Hammer of God" Johnston iiI; Richard "Captain Kirk" Kirka; Al Nofi; Tim "Plez" Pleasant; Trent "Flamingo" Telenko; and Mark "Raven" Turnage. Thanks also to Master Sergeant Lance Bolun, U.S. Army. |
