- Dedication
- Thanks to John Ordover for conceiving of this trilogy, to Paula Block and Paramount for sanctioning it, and to my agent Russ Galen, for handling the contractual details. Thanks also to David and Alexandra Honigsberg for bullf... (show all)ighting tips, and to everyone at Tor Books for letting me restructure my editorial duties there so that I could give Q all the tie and attention he demanded. And to D. C. Fontana, Gene Roddenberry, and John DeLancie for creating Q and bringing him to life (even though Q insists he created them)
Thanks, as ever, to Karen Palinko for providing keen editorial advice at every stage of the saga's creation. And to Alex, our own little Q-kitty, for countless hours of entertainment and distraction. - First words
