"Jacqueline Lichtenberg - Dushau Trilogy 03 - Outreach" - читать интересную книгу автора (Lichtenberg Jacqueline)

frustrating of times: my husband Salomon, who definitely wins the Purple Heart and several awards of
valor; my daughters, Gail and Debbie, who have had to get along without "Ma!" for long periods through
some of their toughest high-school years; my father, who accepts me when I need accepting; and my
dearest friends, Anne Pinzow, Katie Filipowicz, and Roberta Mendelson. Roberta has read and
commented on the Dushau to good effect. She, Anne, and Katie have all pitched in to teach my
daughters the graces and skills, spending many hours doing what I could not when I could not.

Yet another invaluable group has been the dear friends scattered about the country, who have written or
called me with news of new vampire novels or other items of good cheer, or who have shown me their
manuscripts. Sometimes I really need a "good read." I expect some of these gems to turn up on the'
stands soon.

There is one other source of inspiration for this trilogy that I'd like to recommend you read: John
Brunner's novel titled Polymath, which is about the ecology of colonizing planets.

I learned about kinesiology from Kelly and Polly Freas at Maplecon, in Ottawa, Canada, in 1984. I do
hope readers of this book will look up this technique and try it out. It's real.

And, of course, I must acknowledge the contribution that John Nathan Turner and all the other creators
of the television show, Doctor Who, have inadvertently made to this project. The use of Zen and other
philosophies within an adventure format, the confrontation with such issues as what holds the universe
together, the difference between good and evil, and the essence of companionship make this apparently
trivial children's show into a literary classic.

I'd like to offer my gratitude to James Frost, my editor at Questar, for his patience and faith.

And there is no way to repay such wonderful people as Andre Norton, who wrote Star Rangers;
Katherine Kurtz, who didn't really intend to read DUSHAU at all, but did, Jean Lorrah my sometimes
co-author, who never does less than her best and won't let me slack off, either; Jean Airey, who showed
me depths of The Doctor I'd never have found by myself, and Marion Zimmer BradleyтАФwho is just plain
magic.

These and many other sources of energy, including the Ineffable, have made this book possible.
