To Andria
For advice, encouragement, and more
Many people helped make this book possible. I would like to thank them all, especially Curtis Smith for introducing me to
Star Wars
writing all those years ago; Mary Kirchoff, who drew my attention to the possibility; and Matthew Caviness, Kevin McConnell, and Ross Martin, three special
Star Wars
fans who were never far from my thoughts during the writing. Thanks are also due to: Mike Friedman and Jenni Smith; fellow NJO writers R. A. Salvatore—what a setup!—Mike Stackpole, Jim Luceno, Kathy Tyers, Greg Keyes, Elaine Cunningham, Aaron Allston, and Matt Stover, who all contributed to this story through endless compromising and brainstorming; Shelly Shapiro and all the people at Del Rey, especially Chris Schluep, Kathleen David, and Lisa Collins; to Sue Rostoni and Lucy Autrey Wilson at Lucasfilm, as well as Chris Cerasi, Leland Chee, Dan Wallace, and everyone else there who made this project such a pleasure. And, of course, thanks to George Lucas for letting me play in his galaxy.
