ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

In the words of the writer and filmmaker, the late, great Michael Crichton, THIS NOVEL IS FICTION EXCEPT FOR THE PARTS THAT AREN'T.

MY sincere gratitude to ALL who travelled on this adventure WITH ME but MOST NOTABLY to MY co-conspirators.

tO THEM i GIVE tHE GIFT OF LITERARY IMMORTALITY, maybe not in the way the Greek and Celtic myths immortalised the legendary Greek hero Odysseus or the Irish mythological hero Cú Chulainn, but EACH ONE IS immortalised here in print or ebook format!
