Raise the Red Dawn

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am deeply indebted to Rear Admiral J. Weldon Koenig (ret.) of the United States Navy for his contribution to the writing not only of this book but of its precursor, Full Fathom Five. He is a true gentleman whose knowledge and skill have always been the basis for Peter MacKenzie’s. I am also deeply grateful to my editor, Paul McCarthy, whose wisdom, humor, and guidance provided a fixed star every time I sat down to write. I know that all things are possible because of the unfailing love and support of my wife, Sharon. And I wish to thank Robert Gottlieb of the William Morris Agency, who is, quite simply, the gold standard of agents and friends.
