This is due to the extraordinary efforts of Greg Call, Isaac Stewart, and Ben McSweeney. And speaking of artwork, you may notice that the interior art for this book is far more extensive than what you normally find in an epic fantasy. Dot Lin, who was my publicist up until this book’s release (and who is now working to put a few extra letters after her name), was a wonderful help not just in publicity, but in giving me advice and a cheering section over in New York. Many thanks to Irene, Justin Golenbock, Greg Collins, Karl Gold, Nathan Weaver, Heather Saunders, Meryl Gross, and the entire team at Tor Books. Likewise, Irene Gallo-the art director-has been wonderfully helpful and patient in dealing with an intrusive author who wanted to do some crazy things with the artwork in his book. He’s been our in-house liaison for my books, and he’s done an amazing job. At Tor Books, Paul Stevens has been a huge help. Alan Romanczuk, working with her, should also be thanked for facilitating this edit. She doesn’t do much editing these days outside of the Wheel of Time, and so I feel very honored and humbled to have her input and help here. Wheel of Time fans will know her as the person who discovered, edited, and then married Robert Jordan. Special thanks also go to Harriet McDougal, one of the greatest editors of our time, who gave us a read and line edit on this novel out of the goodness of her heart. Paul Wilson toĬheck over the medical scenes, to their great benefit. But he edited the novel without a word of complaint his help was invaluable in turning it into the novel you now hold.
Moshe, by special note, doesn’t get paid more when his authors turn in 400k-word monstrosities. (She likes chocolate.) As always, my excellent editor and agent- Moshe Feder and Joshua Bilmes-worked quite hard on this novel. If you readers get a chance to meet her, some thanks might be in order. That included not only reading and giving advice on the manuscript, but giving up her husband during long stretches of writing time. She gave greatly of herself to see the novel come to pass. First comes my wife, Emily, to whom this book is dedicated. However, there are some major players that I would like to thank most deeply. It’s going to be impossible to mention them all my memory simply isn’t that good. And so it should be no surprise that a lot of people have helped me with it. No book of mine has spent longer simmering I’ve spent more than a decade building this novel. Threads of this novel go back even further in my brain.
