Acknowledgements

The author would like to thank the following individuals for their help and support with this book. Kat Klaybourne, her daughter Carly Klaybourne for naming Peregrine and championing the cause of wooly rhinoceri, the folks at Night Shade Books for indulging me in my side trip into the Hyborean Age, my agents Howard Morhaim and Danny Baror, Janna Silverstein for translating me into English again, and Reinhold Mai for translating me into German.

Mike would especially like to thank all the wonderful people who said so many great things about At the Queen’s Command on the Internet and in person. Authors work in isolation and the editorial process is centered on fixing things that were wrong. Hearing that folks really enjoyed the story and have recommended it to others really pushed me to make this volume the best it could possibly be.
