To David Drake,
Grand Master of Military Science Fiction,
and a Good Friend.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Our thanks to Michael Figuera, whose email was the snowball that precipitated this avalanche. And many thanks to those authors who permitted the use of their stories, and to the estates and their representatives who intervened for those authors unreachable without time travel (we raise a glass to absent friends). Special thanks to Mark Bodē, [add names of relatives who gave permissions]. Among the very helpful literary agents deserving thanks are [list names of literary agencies that David contacted, if any. If no agents were involved, delete this sentence fragment.]. And thanks for help and advice from others I’m unforgivably forgetting. Gratitude is also due to the Internet Speculative Fiction Database (ISFDB.org) for existing and being a handy source of raw data, and to the devoted volunteers who maintain that very useful site.
