Acknowledgments

People of the Mist and the other books in the prehistory series would
not have been possible without the thoughtful encouragement of Tom
Doherty, Linda Quinton, and the rest of the Tor/Forge staff. They have
stood behind the project during the years, and to them we Owe the
deepest gratitude.

Harriet McDougal, our longtime editor, deserves special recognition for
her constant encouragement and understanding. When we can't see the
forest for the trees, she is our chainsaw. Thanks, Harriet, we know
how lucky we are to have you. Lucia St Clair Robson, author of Mary's
Land, offered us her house as a base of operations during our research
