ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Hi to all you readers out there in Halla. Welcome to the next chapter in the continuing saga of Bobby Pendragon and his fellow Travelers. Before you flume off to territories unknown, I’d like to write a few words of thanks to some of the people who help keep Bobby’s adventures rolling along.

Writing The Never War presented some unique challenges (which I won’t tell you about because you haven’t read it yet). A very big thank-you must go to Lisa Clancy for providing such wise guidance. Her insight helped me dig deep into Bobby’s character and bring out a story that is not only full of adventure, but thought-provoking as well. Thanks, Lisa!

Since The Never War takes place in the past of Second Earth, I had to do loads of research to make sure events were historically accurate. I used way too many resources to name here, most of which were on the Internet. So I’m offering a global thank-you to the hundreds of Web sites I accessed for information. (Did you ever hear of someone thanking the Internet for something? I think not!)

A big thank-you goes
