I would like to acknowledge the various people who assisted me in this novel. My wife, Leanne, and my sons, Ian and Sean. My agent, Irene Kraas. Judy Bullard for her outstanding cover art and Natasha Fondren assistance with all things HTML and format-related. Various unnamed folks involved with the field of microbiology, and the staff at USAMRIID, as well as Rchard Preston, author of The Hot Zone and Demons in the Freezer, both books that might be of interest to readers of The Devil's Pitchfork who wish to know more about the amazing and important work done by the CDC and USAMRIID in the fight against bioterrorism and emerging infections, as well as the long and never-ending battle against pandemics.
