This book is for a number of old pros, who, wittingly or unwittingly, at various times have helped:
Leigh Brackett
Robert Bloch
Alfred Bester
Marty (Hicksville) Greenberg
Gordon R. Dickson
Harlan Ellison
Fritz Leiber
Harry (“Hal Clement”) Stubbs
Compton (“Stephen Tall”) Crook
Avram Davidson
Jack Williamson
and, most especially, to a man who has never heard of me but has had more influence on the field of science fiction than any ten comparable writers,
Mr. Eric Frank Russell
