To Tim,
my default imagination and dedicated plot rescue system,
who helps me get it on paper in the first place and
puts up with me when I didnТt get it well,
and to Richard McCaffrey Robinson,
who steers me through matters
nautical with a keen eye for squalls and shoals,
not to mention for the errors of a sea-scribing novice.



ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks are due to my father, Wayne Pierce, for his help and advice in my research on
black powder; to my mother,
Mary Lou Pierce, for her gardening advice (used more in the last book, but still
appreciated); to Rick Robinson, not only for sea matters, but for fast-turnaround
proofreading and reader reaction; and to Tyndulf the Peacemaker, for the harbour
chain.
As always in this series, thanks go to Thomas Gansevoort, particularly in matters of
weaving and smithcraft.
Thanks also to Victorian Video and the Cumberland General Store as suppliers of
invaluable source materials in such arcane areas as smithcraft, companion plants, and
weaving and spinning.
