Acknowledgments
This book did not come to be in a vacuum. The team of people contributing to this series is an outstanding collection of individuals who continue to impress me with their professionalism, talent, and good humor. Thanks must go to Shelly Shapiro, my editor, and her counterpart at Lucas Licensing Ltd., Sue Rostoni, who continue to be enthusiastic supporters of my writing. More gratitude to Leland Chee and Pablo Hidalgo, who are always so quick and helpful with any questions that arise (and special thanks to Pablo for letting me play on Klatooine, which he created). Appreciation and affection go to my two fellow authors: Aaron Allston is an inspiration in his ability to face adversity and maintain humor and good cheer, and Troy Denning has been positively Yodaesque in his advice and support. I’d be happy to buy all of you a drink at the cantina any time. To the readers who have taken the time to write and tell me how much you enjoyed Omen, I am deeply appreciative and hope you continue to enjoy the series and my contributions to it. And again, as always, to George Lucas, for giving us all a galaxy far, far away.
