Acknowledgments

Many people contributed to this book in ways large and small. I would like to
thank them all, especially the following: Andria Hayday, for her invaluable
suggestions and creative support; James Luceno, Leland Chee, Pablo Hidalgo,
Keith Clayton, Erich Schoeneweiss, Scott Shannon, Frank Parisi, and Carol
Roeder for their fine contributions during our brainstorming sessions; Shelly
Shapiro and Sue Rostoni, for everything, from their remarkable patience to their
insightful markups to their great ideas; Jennifer Heddle, for her contributions to
Apocalypse and her graceful arrival in the final stages of a long and exciting
series; Jason Fry, for our email brainstorming regarding the “Celestial overlap”
in our two projects—I really wish that chapter had made it into the Essential
Guide to Warfare!; my fellow Fate of the Jedi writers, Aaron Allston and
Christie Golden, for being such a blast to work with; Laura Jorstad, for her usual
attention to fine detail; all of the people at Lucasfilm and Del Rey who make
writing Star Wars so much fun; and, finally, to George Lucas for sharing the
galaxy far, far away with us all.
