It has been said that the devil hides in many details when writing. Such a thick book naturally has many demons, if you don't pay attention, each one will bite you.Fortunately, I also know many angels. Here I would like to thank all the good people who listened generously, or assisted me with their own expertise (or books), because of them, I was able to make every little detail perfect.Thanks to Sage Walker, Martin Wright, Malinda Snodgrass, Karl Keim, Bruce Pove, Tim O'Brien, Roger Zelazny, Jen Rings Cole, and Laura Mixon, and, of course, dear Paris. Also, special thanks to Jennifer Hussey, who went above and beyond for this book...
