AUTHORтАЩS NOTE: What you are looking at is a unique document. This is the original manu-
script as it was submitted to the publisher in its first completed form. There have been changes, to be
sure, as it has gone through editorial (including a complete rewrite of the first five chapters of the
book when it first appeared in paperback). This, however, was our original vision -- flawed as it was.
We hope you enjoy this glimps into our creative world. While youтАЩre at it, we hope that you enjoy
the story as well.
