In the Shadow of Falcon's Wings

Acknowledgments

This novel could not have been possible without extensive creative input from Bill Craig, George Elder, and Mark Orr.

I would also like to thank (in no particular order) Rob MacGregor, James Reasoner, RJ Archer, Marty Olver, Steven Savile, Paul Byers, Rick Chesler, David Sakmyster, Robert Charest, Wayne Skiver, David Wood and Kent Holloway for their support and advice. I’m sure I’ve missed a few…catch you next time.

None of the ideas presented herein are terribly original, but the speculative works of David Hatcher Childress have been especially useful as a road map through this undiscovered country.

I would be remiss if I did not pay homage to two authors who have inspired me from the very beginning: Clive Cussler and Jerry Ahern. You gentlemen are the reason I decided I wanted to do this.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, I am grateful to my sons Connor and Campbell for their constant support and cheerleading. One of these days, I’ll make good on all those promises.
