Acknowledgments

Again, I couldn’t have done it without Simon Kavanagh, constant fount of cautions and advice, Peter Lavery of the masterful pencil and wine glass in equal measures, Julie Crisp and Chloe Healy and everyone else at Tor, and Jon Sullivan for his sterling work on the covers. I should also thank Lou Anders of Pyr for all his help and support across the water. Furthermore, anyone who turns up at signings, conventions, or posts on www.shadowsoftheapt.com, is also entitled to no small measure of thanks.

For the better edification of the reader, there is a complete cast list at the back of the book, as well as a complete cast list for the series on the website.
