To Steve Sansweet,
a fellow Star Wars enthusiast from day one, for your friendship and for helping us keep our sense of humor
Writing each volume of the Young Jedi Knights requires a lot of help from many different people: Sue Rostoni, Allan Kausch, and Lucy Wilson at Lucasfilm Licensing; Ginjer Buchanan and Jessica Faust at Boulevard Books; A.C. Crispin for helping us create Raynar’s parents; Lillie E. Mitchell, Catherine Ulatowski, Katie Tyree, and Angela Kato at WordFire, Inc.; and Jonathan Cowan, our first test-reader.
A special thanks to all of the fans and devoted readers who have enjoyed this series so much and urged us to tell the further adventures of Jacen, Jaina, Tenel Ka, and Lowbacca. Your enthusiasm and support give us the energy we need to write these stories.
