From the Depths

Начало книги

This book is dedicated to my parents, who taught me the joy of fusing imagination and the written word; to Kara, whose love is an inspiration and whose red pen led me to many thoughtful ideas; to the countless teachers, mentors and friends who have supported me along the way; and to God.

I’d like to thank Dr. Kylie Vannaman and Lt. Rich Federico for their technical assistance and thoughts as I prepared my manuscript. If it weren’t for their help, my characters would be limited to the technical expertise of an imaginative journalist. Thanks also to Tami Miller, Erica Meltzer, Ben Hubbard, Charlie Dickinson and Theresa Schwegel for their comments and generosity with killer ideas. Christine McClure made sure readers saw my good side. Pete Valavanis got me behind the trigger of an MP-5 (and an AR-10, and an M-4, and…). I owe Nhan Nguyen and Adam Brown for their expert counsel.

These people and countless others have inspired and encouraged me during the course of my career-too many to list, but without whom I would not keep putting pen to paper.
