Matt Tieman and Tisha McGarry labored through the early versions, critiquing it and guiding its development. However, it was my editor, John Paine, who helped trim away the deadwood and unearthed the true story line within. A special thanks goes out to Simon O’Neill who helped me with the Kiwi slang and also Reid Mangan and David Raymond for their technical advice.
Thank you to my agent, Bob Deforio, for taking a chance on an unknown author.
