Acknowledgments

We would like to thank Allyn Gibson, Jim McCain, and Alex Rosenzweig, members of the group who so diligently maintain Pocket Books’ Official Star Trek Novel Timeline, for their assistance. They helped us to pin down the best place to set the flashback portion of Home Fires and provided interesting historical tidbits for us to reference, thus preventing yet another couple of bumbling writers from destroying the very fabric of Star Trek continuity as we know it. Be sure to check out the latest edition of their Timeline (as of this writing, at least) in the conclusion to the Star Trek: Gateways saga, What Lay Beyond.
