From Chronicles of the Planeswalkers, Part One: Alliances:
Aerinas snapped out of his stupor abruptly when Ithyllna shook him wildly and
screamed at him to turn around.
They had moved too slowly. The screeching passed from a paranoid delusion
into reality.
The Cray had found them!
It happened so fast they barely had a chance to draw their weapons. The insect-
like Cray—using each of their six appendages to grasp the wet cavern walls—
sped down the corridors with inhuman speed, some suspended from the ceiling,
some to the sides, but each one spaced so as to keep from bunching up. They
were intelligent. Hisses and screeches filled the tunnels; the yellow of their eyes
penetrated the darkness.
"Aerinas! Form up! Do not let them get behind us!"

Acknowledgements
Extending thanks to all of the people who have helped me along the way to
publication is very important to me. This list hasn't changed much, but it bears
repeating nonetheless.
To my wife, Nicole, for supporting me from the sidelines no matter how good or
bad the game gets.
To Gerald Myers, CEO of LBF Books, Inc., Jacqueline “Jake” Druga-Johnston,
Senior Editor at LBF Books, Inc., and Teresa Tunaley, Chief of Operations at
LBF Books, Inc. Nothing would be possible without your hard work, dedication,
and support.
To Anne Stickel, primary editor for Part One: Alliances. As you did with Zero,
so also have you done with this manuscript. Thank you for the hard work and
effort to elevate Alliances beyond mediocrity.
To David Lee Summers, fellow author and close friend. It came as no surprise to
me that you would oversee the final steps of the publication process for
Alliances. The final polish you put on the Alliances manuscript was brilliant.
To Gary Tunaley, webmaster for my official website.
To artist Natascha Roeoesli, who invested lots of time to develop the fantastic
cover piece for Alliances. You have raised the bar for the fantasy artwork of the
Planeswalkers universe.
To artist Henning Ludvigsen, for bringing the world of Vaaluna to life through
the redesign of the map.
To Rae Whitfield, Darlene Collins, and the entire Borders Books and Music
staff.
To Linda and Jackie at Chapters Books and Music, for being the first to offer me
a book signing way back when Zero was first released. Your support means the
world to me.
And, finally, to my family, friends, fans, and authors I've met in person and
online around the world. To have your acceptance as a writer of fantasy means
more to me than words can describe.
