For John Cutter and Neal Hallford,
with thanks for their creativity and enthusiasm
Again I am in debt to many people.
The original Midkemians, for the universe in which I work, and for their understanding of what makes a good story, a good game, and how the two are different.
My agent, Jonathan Matson, for shepherding me through major difficulties in creating these games, with his usual deft touch and quick wit.
John Cutter, who thought it up in the first place.
Neal Hallford, who created a very nifty story for the core of the game which provided the basis for this book.
The rest of the creative team at Dynamix, who managed to squeeze the most out of the processor to give us music, pictures, sound, and story.
And to Jerry Lutrell, for keeping me apprised of what was what early on.
My wife, Kathlyn S. Starbuck, for being who she is.
My children, Jessica and James, for keeping me in touch with what's important daily and for being the most wonderful children any father could ask for.
