Acknowledgments
Many people contributed to this book in ways large and small. I would like to say thank you to them all, especially the following: to Andria Hayday for her invaluable suggestions and creative support; to James Luceno, Leland Chee, Pablo Hidalgo, Erich Schoeneweiss, Keith Clayton, Christine Cabello, Scott Shannon, Frank Parisi, and Carol Roeder for their fine contributions during our brainstorming sessions; to editors extraordinaire Shelly Shapiro and Sue Rostoni for everything, from their patience and great ideas to the best dinner conversation and mojito recipe in the system; to my fellow Fate of the Jedi writers, Aaron Allston and Christie Golden, for being such a blast to work with; to Laura Jorstad for her usual attention to fine detail; to David Pomerico for making the trains run on time; to all of the people at Lucasfilm and Del Rey who make writing Star Wars such a pleasure; and, finally, to George Lucas for sharing the galaxy far, far away with us all.
