The Ajax Protocol

Acknowledgements

My Wife and First Reader, Gayle. She always has excellent comments and sees things in the story I don't think of. She also puts up with my mood swings while I'm writing, no easy task.

Many thanks to Cathy Nobles, Valerie Miller, Gloria Lakritz, Penny Nichols and Kathleen Orescan for wading through an earlier version and giving me their constructive feedback. It makes for a better story.

Special thanks to Emma Sweeney. Her excellent editorial comments have made this a much better story.

Another awesome cover from Neil Jackson. I love what he does with layer upon layer of subtle images and color. Thanks, Neil.
